Mountain View Shelter
A short hike from the sno-park, the snow shelter is within an hour's reach of the trailhead. Make sure to print a trail map of the area's routes ahead of time, or take a picture of the map provided in the parking lot, as the network of trails can get you a little lost.
From the parking lot, make sure to take the trail that starts next to the bathroom facility It isn't as obvious as the trail a...
Duffy Lake Trail
Duffy Lake Trail is an out-and-back trail that takes you by a lake located near Idanha, Oregon.
Santiam Lake via Duffy Lake Trailhead
You start by weaving through an old-growth forest, gaining a little elevation, appreciating the shade, before you come up out and into the alpine forest the majority of the hike will take place in.
You will quickly reach your first of many intersections within ~.1 mile into the trail. Be sure to hang a right here! At your next intersection, which is 1.5 miles from the T.H., take another right...

Early on there is a creek crossing (the bridge was still washed out as of March 2015). At the fork in the trail, keep right. The trail gains steady elevation, wi...
Clear Lake Loop
Once you arrive at Clear Lake, I suggest to start the relatively flat hike around the lake. You'll walk through a beautiful forest with peek-a-boo views of the stunning lake. The hike around the full lake may take a few hours, so if you're not staying the night, make sure you have enough time to rent a row boat and row around the lake. If you are staying the night in one of the cabins or camp, ...
