HIKES & WALKS ON
MT HOOD, 2nd Edition
41 Hikes and walks that range from a 1/2 mile,
very easy walk to a challenging 13 mile, cross-country hike. One beautiful
nature trail is wheelchair accessible. Several of the trails include
interesting portions of the historic Oregon Trail.
Most are relatively easy day hikes, ranging in length from 4-8 miles; and are
suitable for walkers of all ages and levels of fitness. Some of the hikes and
walks are ideal for young children.
AROUND MT HOOD IN
EASY STAGES
The Timberline Trail circling Mt Hood is one
of the most spectacular hiking trails in the world. The 41-mile trail runs
mostly at the timber line and drops in and out of canyons carved by the
rivers that flow from the many glaciers on the mountain. Over the 41-mile
trail, the total elevation gain is about 9000 ft with the lowest point at
3200 ft and the highest point at 7560 ft.
Our purpose in writing this book is to show
how the Timberline Trail can readily be broken down into 1-way day hikes
using car shuttles and car swaps. The 41-mile circle is divided into 8
segments and detailed descriptions are provided about how to reach the
trailheads, and the pros and cons of hiking each segment in a
clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
