Another Oregon Devil… this hike climbs up like there’s no other mountain anywhere. In fact, a lot of climbers use this route for training as they carry water up to the top. But, as with most hikes that are difficult, the rewards are well worth it… as long as weather cooperates that is. As you climb up, there are several view points were Mt Hood is right there in your face. At the top, there’s an old fire lookout tower that is open to the public. The tower is user stocked with food, water and fire wood so there’s the possibility, if the cabin is empty, to stay the night up there. On clear days, the views of Hood are just incredible. Not our luck this time, but we did get a pretty decent workout.
