McNeil Point, located on the northwest side of Mount Hood, is a subalpine and alpine area filled with meadows and great views of the mountain and surrounding ridges.
An unmarked trail leads to the long ridge and summit of Tomlike Mountain, located between Mount Hood and the Columbia River, with views from Mount Rainier to Mount Jefferson.
This hike along the Pacific Crest Trail connects with many popular trails on Mount Hood, including the Timberline Trail. Take an unmarked trail to the top of Bald Mountain for an upfront view of Mount Hood.
Wanting a good conditioning hike on a foggy and rainy day, we got a little more adventure than we anticipated when it got pitch dark for the last two miles of our hike.
Hike along the Bald Mountain ridge on Mount Hood’s northwest side, passing through wildflower-filled alpine meadows to the McNeil Point stone shelter just below the Sandy and Glisan glaciers
Snowshoeing next to the Salmon River in an old-growth rainforest.
Shuttle hike on the Clackamas River Trail: Fish Creek to Indian Henry trailhead
This is a great conditioning hike, with a lot of elevation gain that isn’t too difficult. May is a good time to see rhododendrons and bear grass in bloom.
I took two friends on their first winter backpacking trip at the White River SnoPark at Mount Hood. We spent one night and snowshoed up Boy Scout Ridge for great views.
