Around & About Mount Hood: Exploring the Timberline Trail, Access Trails and Day Hikes, 3rd Edition - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Oregon is a hikers' paradise. Around & About Mount Hood is a pocket-sized hiking guide to the Timberline Trail, a 41-mile trail that circles Mt. Hood, and is truly one of the most spectacular hiking trails in the world --and is the only hiking guide to the whole Timberline Trail. The Trail was broken in 2006 by a massive slide and only restored in 2017/18. This pocket guide breaks down the Timberline Trail into 8 segments and describes how to access the trailheads for each and how to hike in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the distinctive features of each and how to choose. The hikes range in distance from 5½ to almost 13 miles and all include some elevation gain and loss. The book also includes 6 hikes that provide access to the spectacular vistas of the Timberline Trail and the alpine meadows but are shorter and easier. For the new or experienced hiker, the Timberline Trail offers virtually everything a hiker could dream of: spectacular views, alpine meadows carpeted with wildflowers, beautiful streams and glacier-fed rivers, quiet forests and no crowds
