Hike to scenic Mirror Lake for views of intricate wildflowers and the grand vista of Mount Hood.
Difficulty: Easy-Moderate
Distance: 3.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 780 feet
Leader: Wendell Wood
Location: Mount Hood National Forest
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 into the Wilderness Additions 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.
The hike is currently full although spots may open up. Sign up for the waitlist here. Oregon Wild members ($6) and non-members ($9). All proceeds from hikes support Oregon Wild’s campaigns to protect wildlands across the state.
