Winter Hiking

Mount Hood is a winter wonderland, with snow-blanketed trails and stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are popular ways to explore the mountain in winter, and our guidebook provides detailed descriptions of several beginner-friendly trails.

One of our favorite winter hikes is the Snowshoe Loop Trail at Mount Hood Meadows. This easy 1.5-mile loop trail takes you through a beautiful old-growth forest, with views of Mount Hood and the surrounding peaks. The trail is well-maintained and packed, making it a great option for snowshoers of all levels.

Spring Hiking

As the snow melts and the wildflowers begin to bloom, Mount Hood comes alive in spring. This is a great time of year to hike the mountain's lower trails, which are typically free of snow and mud.

One of our favorite spring hikes is the Ramona Falls Trail. This moderate 4-mile loop trail takes you past several beautiful waterfalls, including Ramona Falls, which is one of the most popular waterfalls in Oregon. The trail is well-maintained and has a gradual elevation gain, making it a great option for families with children.

Summer Hiking

Summer is the most popular time to hike Mount Hood, and for good reason. The weather is warm and sunny, and the trails are in excellent condition. However, it's important to be aware of the potential for heat and thunderstorms, especially at higher elevations.

One of our favorite summer hikes is the Timberline Trail. This challenging 39-mile loop trail circumnavigates Mount Hood, offering stunning views of the mountain and the surrounding wilderness. The trail is well-maintained but has a significant elevation gain, so it's only recommended for experienced hikers.

Fall Hiking

Fall is a beautiful time to hike Mount Hood, as the leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The weather is typically mild, but it's important to be prepared for rain and snow, especially at higher elevations.

One of our favorite fall hikes is the PCT Section K Trail. This moderate 6.5-mile out-and-back trail follows the Pacific Crest Trail through a beautiful forest of old-growth trees. The trail has a gradual elevation gain, making it a great option for hikers of all levels.
