This is a good hike to take inpatient little kids on like my nephews but it’s not very exciting. Family friend I guess!

Watching this sunrise over the clouds was one of my favorite hiking memories. It is an ideal sunrise hike.

I don’t know if this was man made or not but if the tunnel behind the waterfall was luck than this must be a miracle. Such a fun hike. One of the best waterfall hikes around here.

I’m sad it’s closed rn but last summer I came here and swam on a nice warm day and had a BLAST! Totally worth it for any PNW enthusiast.

Perfect hike to take my non hiker friends on. A pretty cool waterfall for not a far hike at all. Go check out Eastwind drive in for a good burger afterwards

Fun fun FUN time! But not for someone who’s afraid of heights looking off that edge could make your stomach drop.

5 miles not bad and a fun little creek to wade in once ya get there

Too hard to get to without a 20 mile hike. But we went about 1/4 of the way. Some cool views around.

The best place to cliff jump in the Mt Hood Wilderness. Easily

We got family Christmas card photos here when I was younger and this view NEVER fails. Trillium is likely the best view of Mount Hood

So fun and great for photo shoots. Been here multiple times.

The wildflowers around Timberline are beautiful. Don’t be afraid to stop in for a good bite at the Lodge too.

Great to take your kayak out for the view of Mount Hood without dealing with the chaos of the more popular lakes.

Beautiful even on a cloudy day with some drizzle. Good beginner hike for someone who isn’t very experienced and is interested in a cool hidden gem of Oregon.

My friend has been dying to backpack this. I’ve only partially hiked but we are hoping to backpack late July. The obsidian is insane to see in person

Fun to take non hikers to this viewpoint to snap some pics. I recommend specifically at sunset, during the day it’s not as good.

Just an amazing day when we went last year and the lake shines in the sun. Check the forecast for sun because this is great on a sunny day.

My girlfriend has taken me a couple times and I’m an amateur skier and it scares me everything but god is it so much fun. If you’re into skiing this is a must for Oregon!

Super fun for the fam and I for a nice swim on a hot day. Beautiful falls to take pictures in front of as well.

It doesn’t get better than this. It’s like being dropped in a painting. Go as soon as you can, it’s breathtaking

Been dying to camp at this summit. Whatta beautiful area. CHECK IT OUT

This area is beautiful I’ve explored a ton but now am dying to camp, hoping to do it next January. Literally the ideal snow camping spot.

This is nice because it’s an adventure I’ve been able to do with my friends who aren’t fond of hikes. Rent a kayak and have a nice afternoon out.

I’ve yet to hike inside but I explored around here with my family last summer and I’ve been dying to go back to hike inside it!!
