This is a moderate and approachable tour option that starts at an altitude of around 4000 feet at the Tilly Jane trailhead. Navigating through the trees, then a large burn area with spectacular views of Mount Hood, Mount Adams and surroundings, and again back into the trees, the Tilly Jane A-frame is approached after an 1800 vertical foot climb. Weather, conditions and group dynamics permitting, the tour continues to the base of a triangle moraine at the Cooper Spur shelter at approximately 7000 feet. Descent options include returning to the trailhead using the ascent route or descending below the Tilly Jane A-frame and connecting to the Polallie Ridge Trail and following it to the bottom of the Cooper Spur Ski area.
