Mt Hood
Return to DiscussionsTook a drive up to Mt Hood on Sunday, 05-01-2016, just to get out of town. I ended up at a place called Tea Cup Park. I pulled into one of the 'Snow Park lots and took a hike into Mt Hood National Forest. I founded very invigorating to remove my clothes. There were no paths to speak of and I did get a few scratches from the small vegetation. Also there was still some patches of snow in the shaded areas. I did slip on oneof the snow patches but I did not mind, it was 75. It did not take very long to dry off. I went back on Tuesday and spent a little more time going further into the forest. Again slipping on the snow.I wish I could have stayed a little longer but the sun disappeared behind the trees and it started to sprinkle. Got a few more scratches but it was worth it. It would be great to find hikers in the Portland, OR area.
