Kayak Laurance Lake
This lake is found about 25 miles south of Hood River, Or. $5 for day use and now other passes are accepted, just keep that in mind. There are camping sites all over the lake as well, so if you are thinking of making a weekend out of it.
It wasn't very crowded on a weekend during the summer so you may be able to just show up and find a spot to camp. There is quite a bit of parking for day use ...
Hike to Sandy Glacier Caves
The hike to the caves begins at Top Spur Trailhead. The hike to McNeil Point is 5.4 miles one way, and 2200 feet of elevation gain. The trail starts in the forest, but will eventually open up to views of Mt Hood, as well as St. Helens, Adams and Rainier on a clear day.There is a shortcut up to McNeil Point that is steeper and shorter, and it ends right at the stone hut at McNeil Point. It is di...

To get there you have to drive around 10 miles up a bumpy dirt road, once off the main road. Low-clearance vehicles can make it but high clearance vehicles with four-wheel drive will have an easier time.
Cooper Spur trail is accessed from the Cloud Ca...
Lost Lake Butte Trail
This is a great hike for those who are visiting Lost Lake. There's a steady 1200ft elevation climb all the way to the summit, so the hike will give you a good workout, but is worth it in the end.
To begin this hike, make your way to the Lost Lake Campground Amphitheater Stage (off of NF Dev RD 1340) where you will find the Lake Shore Express Trail (#658). As you make your way up the trail, y...
