The Cloud Cap Inn is a historic building located high on Mount Hood, Oregon, United States.[2] It was a luxury inn for mountain climbers that included telephones as early as 1894.[3]

The inn opened in 1889[4] and closed as a business in 1946.[5]

Since the 1950s, the Crag Rats search and rescue group has used and maintained the inn.[6]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[7]
