Slow go, wildflower identification hike to scenic Mirror Lake with a wide diversity of wildflowers in forest, meadow, wetland, and rock outcrop habitat types.
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Distance: 3.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 780 feet
Leader: Wendell Wood
Location: Mount Hood National Forest
Visit beautiful Mirror Lake – adjacent to recent additions to the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness.
Join Oregon Wild’s Wildlands Interpreter Wendell Wood for a slow-going exploration through a lovely forest to Mirror Lake with lovely wildflower-surrounded small meadows and rocky outcrops.
A plant list will be provided.
At the trailhead, we will cross the footbridge over Camp Creek and then climb gradually for 1.3 miles to Mirror Lake. We will also continue a short ways beyond the lake, toward Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain for more views of the Zigzag Valley and Mt. Hood before circling, and having lunch at the lake.
