Activity Notes

This is a fairly moderate trail as we hike the west side of Mt Hood, gaining about 2100' over a 10 mile trail. Trails are well maintained, but expect some rocky sections so sturdy footwear is needed. We'll move at a pace of 2.0 (mph) but will take a good number of breaks. Dress appropriately for fall weather!
