Activity Notes

If you're looking for a hike with stunning, up-close views of Mt. Hood, this is it! The trail starts on a heavily forested trail and opens up to the first in your face view of the west side of Mt. Hood before dropping into the forest for a bit. Nearer to the top of the trail, the views open back up until we reach the stone refuge. We'll have a nice, long break near the foot of the glaciers before making our way back down to the cars. Bring your cameras and a picnic lunch.
