    This is a classic Portland, Oregon hike. It is quite strenuous due to distance and elevation gain, but it is so worth it. It is called Paradise Park for a reason. Alpine meadows, expansive views of Mt Hood and the surrou...

    Ice axe (two would be better), helmet and crampons are absolutely needed. We didn't have ice pickets but descending from the very top would be easier and safer with ice pickets.

    Incredible loop from Timberline Lodge, which follows the PCT (Timberline Trail), before looping up towards Paradise Park. It's off-trail from Split Rock on up to the high cliffs of Mississippi Head, where a B-29 crashed ...

    Nice option; good variety of terrain and views. Works best as going to Sahallie Falls first; mostly shade on trail, then Umbrella Falls leg from falls to trailhead later in the day as it's more exposed. As always, plenty...

    A tough snowshoe hidden away in plain sight, surrounded by all the ski-bowl activities. We saw nobody else on the trail.
