EPIC BACKCOUNTRY CAMPING ZONE @ NW Edge of Gnarl Ridge! | Mount Hood | Timberline Loop | 4K | Oregon
If you look at "Timberline Trail Around Mount Hood" on Alltrails, at around the 29 mile mark, you'll see to the left of the main trail a side trail with two triangle camping signs, THIS IS THAT FLAT AREA! It's Lupine Flower laden and has some TRULY EPIC views of Mount Hood a few hundred feet to the NE!
This was a 6.6 mile, 1600 FT Elevation Gain Day-Hike in Oregon, Mount Hood Wilderness, focusing on the NE Quadrant of the approximately 40-mile EPIC Timberline Loop that goes around Mount Hood (one of the two best alpine backpacking hikes in Oregon along with Broken Top Loop), starting at Cloud Cap Saddle Campground Trailhead, and hiking South towards Cooper Spur Shelter, Gnarl Ridge, and ultimately to Newton Clark Glacier Lookout as our turnaround point as an out and back Day-Hike. This was hiked on 8/13/2023, was a beautiful blue sky day and moderately windy with no mosquitoes! On Alltrails, this hike is called "Timberline Trail Around Mount Hood", with a focus on the NE Quadrant. As far as road conditions, THAT IS THE TOUGH PART FOR THIS HIKE, it's highway until the turnoff towards Tilly Jane Sno-Park, and that is when the true fun begins - its about 9 miles up a VERY BUMPY forest road with narrow sections near steep drop off cliffs and some blind one lane corners, I would consider this a VERY DANGEROUS DRIVE SO DO SO VERY SLOWLY WITH EXTREME CAUTION AT YOUR OWN RISK! In my opinion, the road most definitely DOES require 4-Wheel Drive. As far as permits, the Timberline Lodge Pacific Crest Trailhead DOES NOT require a Recreation.gov permit.
