The legend of Mount Hood is rooted in Native American mythology, particularly among the Multnomah tribe. According to the tale, a young warrior named Wy'east fell in love with a beautiful woman named Tugman, who was also desired by another warrior, Mount St. Helens. In a fierce battle for her love, the two mountains erupted, creating the landscape we see today. Ultimately, Wy'east became Mount Hood, standing tall in the hopes of reuniting with Tugman, who transformed into a nearby mountain, representing enduring love and rivalry.
