My goal of these wilderness trail videos is to 1) show reverence for the beauty of the land, and 2) give YOU actionable trail information that can assist you in planning your own hike here.

This was a day-hike in Oregon, Mount Hood National Forest, Timothy Lake Area, Circumnavigating the approximately 13 mile Shoreline Loop all the way around the lake. The hike goes by Pine View Campground, The Cove Day Use Area, Hood View Campground, Gone Creek Campground, Oak Fork Campground, Little Crater Lake Campground, North Fork Campground, Meditation Point Backcountry Camping Area, and several Designated Backcountry Camping Spots. The elevation starts around 3200 ft and is a relatively flat area with some natural machinations in the Forest Trail. The sky was dark grey clouds, mostly overcast, foggy misty and it sprinkled a little bit. This was hiked on 5/25/2022 and there were of NO Mosquitoes. I would recommend doing this hike the week before Memorial Day or the last week of the season in September. As far as road conditions, it's highway and well paved roads until the parking lot, so it was a very easy and safe driving route. In my opinion, the road most definitely DOES NOT require 4-Wheel Drive, however do watch for road conditions, particularly snow/ice depending on the time of year.
