Majestic Mountain – White River West Sno Park – Mount Hood – Oregon – 4K

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, starting at White River West Sno-Park and hiking to the base of Mount Hood via White River, approximately 3.4 miles and 700 feet elevation gain. Due to heavy pack snow accumulation and icy snow it was necessary to deploy snowshoes and trekking poles. The temperature was 26 when I arrived with 20 wind chill. The sky was beautiful blue skies, a blue bird day. This was hiked on 1/22/2022 and there were of course NO Mosquitoes. As far as road conditions, it's highway to the White River West Sno-Park parking lot which is literally directly off the highway and in great condition and well paved. In my opinion, the road most definitely DOES NOT require 4-Wheel Drive, however do watch for road conditions as far as snow/ice and plan accordingly since it is a heavy snow/ice area.
