Huckleberry Mt./Boulder Ridge 11.2 miles, 3,100' gain, 4,300' max

Great views of Mt. Hood and lots of rhododendrons highlight this trail across US 26 from the mountain. There will be beargrass and plenty of other flowers to add color to a solid workout of a trail on our way from lowland to mid-altitude habitats.

We'll make frequent photo stops, and generally focus on enjoying the journey.

It's a 48 minute drive, 37 miles each way, from Gateway. Estimated return to Gateway at 8:00 (Portland Sunrise: 5:22 AM sunset: 8:56 PM)
