Join Erik Fernandez on this Members Only hike. Learn from his 10 years of experience exploring the nooks and crannies on all sides of Mount Hood.
Level: Beginner
Distance: 3.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 500 feet
If you've never been on a snowshoe hike before, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a try. If you are a veteran snowshoer, bring along a warm beverage and show the newbies how it's done.
We'll hike through high elevation old-growth forests along the PCT up to the first of Twin Lakes. The lakeside offers a pristine spot to enjoy some lunch and to admire the view (fingers crossed for a clear day and straight line view to the top of Mount Hood).
The snowshoe trip will include guided narration regarding forest ecology and preservation from Erik Fernandez, Oregon Wild Wilderness Coordinator.
Snowshoes are not provided, but Oregon Wild hikers can get discounts on rentals at REI on 1405 NW Johnson St, (503) 221-1938.
RSVP for the hike.
Reminder: This is a "Members Only" outing. Your membership must be current at the time of your reservation. If you are unsure if your Oregon Wild membership is current, please call 503.283.6343 x 213. To join, please click here.
