Barrett Spur is a prominent knob on the east side of Mount Hood. The trail is both challenging and beautiful, adorned with wildflowers and incredible views. If you're up for the scramble, this trail is the best way to get relatively close to the summit of Mount Hood without climbing the mountain altogether. The highpoint spot is the best viewpoint, with stunning views of Bald Mountain, Mount Rainier and Mount Adams, just below the final scramble to the summit. It is the turnaround point for most and is the best place to stop and capture some incredible photos.
