Alltrails
One of the more popular trails in Mt. Hood NF, we'll be getting an early start. This hike swings past Mirror Lake and climbs to an open ridge providing incredible views of Hood and the surrounding forests.
Plan to arrive at the trailhead in time for a prompt 8:30 am departure. Expect a steady pace without too many breaks. This is a moderately challenging hike with significant elevation gain and not recommended for those who are brand new to hiking. We plan to arrive back at the trailhead around 1pm, depending on the groups pace. There will likely be an optional stop for lunch on the way back to Portland.
Bring: sturdy hiking shoes or boots, plenty of water, snacks, sun protection, and an extra layer in case it's chilly up top.
Well-behaved dogs are always very welcome! Please don't bring any dogs that are aggressive towards people or other dogs.
Carpooling is encouraged and can be coordinated in the comments. Each vehicle at the trailhead will need either to display a valid NW Forest Pass or pay the $5 day-use fee.
My goal is to ensure that all attendees have a safe and enjoyable experience, but please be aware that I am a volunteer host and not a professional guide. By attending this hike, you acknowledge that you are accepting sole responsibility for your own safety and well-being. Please come prepared, know your own limits, and hike at your own risk.
