Round the Mountain 2019

Completed

Join the annual Mazama Labor Day Tradition!

Each year, the Mazamas celebrate their love of Mt. Hood with a 3-day hike around the Timberline Trail. Join us, as we set out from our base camp at Mazama Lodge each day for a 13 to 14-mile adventure. We carry only day packs, because each night we return to the lodge for great food, hot showers, a cozy bunk, and stories from your day on the trail.

Your adventure includes all meals and dorm lodging. Shuttle vans will transport you from our meeting place in Portland to Mazama Lodge, as well as to/from the trail head each day.

Activity Notes

You don’t need to be a 20-something super athlete to do well on this 40-mile, 3-day hike! However, you should be well aware that this is a strenuous and challenging event that requires your commitment and preparation. Expect these challenges:

Distance: About 13 miles each day; Duration: 3 consecutive days of challenging hikes; Elevation Gain/Loss: 3,000–4,000 vertical feet daily; Terrain: uneven terrain, steep inclines and descents, water and snow crossings; Pace: Choose the team that fits your hiking speed

If you are up to the challenge, our volunteer hike leaders are ready to help you achieve this dream, all while enjoying amazing views you can only get on foot from the trail. Be prepared to work, but be prepared to be WOW’d!
