Mt. Hood Rock Club (non-profit) was founded in 1952 for the purpose of bringing together those what have an interest in rock hounding.
A rock hound is someone interested in the collection and identification of rocks, gems and minerals, petrified wood and fossils.
Many rock hounds also have the lapidary skills required to cut, grind and polish these materials into beautiful pieces of jewelry.
The club also includes junior members that learn an interesting and educational hobby. Many junior members develop an interest in mineralogy, geology and lapidary work. More than 200 members make up the membership of the club.
