Lost Lake and Mount Hood - 1932

Native Americans called this lake E-e-kwahl-a-mat-yam-lshkt (heart of the mountains). The name Lost Lake came from Mack Hollamon, who was a hunting and fishing guide at the turn of the 20th century.

He had guided for many years through out Mount Hood but did not come across the lake until Native Americans later showed him where it was. So he called it Lost Lake on his future guides.

This photo was created by postcard photographer Ralph Eddy in 1932.
