Oregon – Mount Hood – Approach to Alpine Ridgeline
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 Wilderness, starting at Timberline Lodge, Pacific Crest Trailhead and hiking West towards Little Zig Zag Canyon, Zig Zag Canyon, Zig Zag River and ultimately to Paradise Branch Falls as our turnaround point as an out and back day-hike of approximately 2700 ft elevation gain, 13.6 miles, exploring the SW quadrant of Timberline Loop. Weather was a low of 34, high of 59, blue sky day and mildly to moderately windy. This was hiked on 10/3/2021 with fall colors in transition or full bloom, trail was completely clear of snow, and there were NO Mosquitoes! On Alltrails this hike is called "Timberline Trail Around Mount Hood", with a focus on the SW Quadrant. As far as road conditions, it's highway until the turnoff for Timberline Lodge, and a well paved road all the way up the 6 miles to the parking lot. This is as easy and convenient of a trailhead parking as you will ever find. In my opinion, the road most definitely DOES NOT require 4-Wheel Drive. As far as permits, the Timberline Lodge Pacific Crest Trailhead DOES NOT require a Recreation.gov permit.
