Mcneil Point: Rain or Shine!
Hosted by The Portland Hiking Meetup Group
Details
Hey guys!
This will be my 5th official meetup group that I organize!
After doing 31 hikes last year. I have a goal set to do 50 this year, along with summitting the Big 4 volcanoes nearby.
This hike in particular is my favorite hikes at Mt. Hood.
Going to limit this hike to 12 people so that we carpool, grab some food and enjoy things as they come up
The meetup will be at 6:30 am at the Subway
Address is: 10112 NE Halsey St, Portland. Drive to the trailhead is 1 hour and 30 minutes. Start at the trailhead at 8am at the Top Spur Trailhead
McNeil Point Trail is rated as difficult. Our goal if you choose to accept it is to make it the Mcneil shelter and push towards Ho Rock with a sweeping up close view of Mt. Hood.
