Queerzamas Hike: Elk Meadows Loop Dog Friendly

Activity Notes

Join us for a cool late summer hike around Elk Meadows in Mt Hood! This is a gorgeous hike with plenty of large trees, open meadows, and even an easy river crossing. There may also be some mushrooms, ripe huckleberries, and definitely some incredible views of Mt Hood. This is a moderately paced hike targeting 2mph, but I usually get side tracked by flowers and bumble bees so we may go slower. This is a dog-friendly hike, but please email the leader if you intend on bringing your furry friend as there is a wilderness limit of 12 heartbeats per group.
