This fantastic trail forms a nearly 40-mile loop around Mount Hood and is a combination of sand, dirt, and often a rocky pathway featuring incredible mountain views, alpine meadows, and beautiful waterfalls. Due to its popularity, the route is well-marked and easy to follow. The first few miles feature a steep descent, allowing for a relatively easy start. As you continue, you'll encounter various elevation changes and several large river crossings, where trekking poles are advisable to help you navigate. The terrain is diverse, primarily consisting of dusty, steep, and rocky sections. However, the vistas are spectacular, and conquering some challenging climbs makes it well worth the effort.
