Nano has some good general pointers.
There are rhododendron near Mt. Hood. A town on highway 26 is named Rhododendron for a good reason. I've hiked in both areas, but that was 40 years ago, pre pack goats. Just know what the wild rhododendron looks like and don't stop, let them browse there. A few leaves have not bothered my guys...but certainly more could be bad news!
Wild rhododendron tend to grow in some areas/situations and not others. So, you either have to have very good info on the specific trail (been there), or be prepared to adapt to what you see. Some areas you may see lots of rhododendron, others areas absolutely none.
