Re: West side of Devils Elbow

Re: Best place to view and get pics of Mt Hood

If anyone drives that road before August, let me know how it is. We usually get a Camry or Impala. Not a tiny car but not an off road car by any means. We really appreciate all the input from everyone.

Re: Best place to view and get pics of Mt Hood

Trillium Lake looks nice. Reminds me of Takhlakh Lake at Mount Adams. I was there last Summer. Is the road up to Top Spur Trailhead worse than the road to Takhlakh Lake? If my memory is correct, I took forest road 23 from Randle down to TL. I recall a good portion of that road being gravel, but not ...

Re: Best place to view and get pics of Mt Hood

All great suggestions, thanks. I think we will ad Bald Mountain to the list. Looks as if the shortest hike to that viewpoint is from Top Spur Trailhead? Am I right? We are flat landers from North Carolina so we may be pretty sore by the time we make it down to Oregon. I hiked out to Third Burroughs ...

Re: Best place to view and get pics of Mt Hood

Awesome, thank you. Ive just watched a youtube video of a drive up to Timberline Lodge and thats what Im looking for. I think we will do that. In that vid, there is Mirror Lake in that area? How much of a hike from the Lodge to there?

Re: Loowit Falls Hike from Windy Ridge

Yes I have done the hike out from JRO twice. 2017 to the point at the end of devils elbow and 2018 to Harrys Ridge. Ive never been to the WR side. So, is the road to WR gonna be closed this season? Slides in the area?

Re: Loowit Falls Hike from Windy Ridge

Thanks for the replies. When would you suggest doing this hike? Looks like MSH area is getting quite a bit of snow this winter. Guess it would depend on when the road to WR opens and snow melt on the trails? I live in North Carolina btw.

Loowit Falls Hike from Windy Ridge

Wanting to do this hike in July or August. Good hike? Trails marked well and easy to follow? Just wondering if the payoff is worth it and how close do you get to the falls? I bet MSH is huge being that close. I believe I read when you get to LF you are about 1 mile from crater and lava dome.
