Never been backpacking in the winter before? Intimidated by it all? This is your opportunity to give it a try!
Beginning at the Sno-Park, we will do an uphill 2-3 mile snowshoe hike into Mt Hood Wilderness, where we’ll set up camp. Once settled in, you can relax in camp or explore.
After a lazy breakfast on Sunday morning, we’ll snowshoe to a scenic point. If weather cooperates, we should have clear views of Mount Hood. Then, it’s back to camp, pack up, and head for the trailhead.
