Timberline Trail Backpack (Mt Hood Circumnavigation)

Activity Notes

A four day backpack of the Timberline Trail. Exact itinerary TBD depending on group. Possible side-trips from the loop include Yocum Ridge, McNeil Point, Barrett Spur, and Cooper Spur. Without side trips, the loop totals roughly 40 miles with 9000 feet of gain depending on detours.

Many sections of the Timberline Trail have difficult terrain and stream crossings. Applicants should have a high level of fitness and be experienced backpackers; please make that experience available via your Mazamas profile before applying to this activity. This activity is not appropriate for beginner backpackers or those who have not recently and regularly been doing C-level hikes or more demanding activities.

Selections of participants will be made after applications close on 7/12. Mazamas members will be preferred; consider joining the Mazamas!

Hopefully this trip will be timed to enjoy wildflowers in bloom.
