Hike at Trion Creek

Here is one of my favorite shots of all time. Andrea stands under a huge Oak tree “reaching” into the canyon where the falls spray showers of mist.

There is a trail right off Hwy 26 in the Mt. Hood National Forrest where you can hike up to a GREAT view of Mirror Lake and Mt. Hood. Here’s Brian chillin’ at the top taking in the view:

The first eye catching landscape is at the beginning of the trail, right at Mirror Lake:

Another view from the top:

I know it’s kinda hard to tell from the photo, but these falls are like three stories high. They are located about half way along a five mile hike in the Mt. Hood National Forrest.

Anyone who loves hiking several miles straight up a HUGE hill, Dog Mountain is for you. I will say that anyone with the lung capacity to make it out of the forrest will be greeted by one of the most beautiful views in the Columbia River Gorge. We got lucky and made the hike just as the top hillside was blooming. While this picture doesn’t make the trail look too intimidating, notice that little white spec is a person like a half mile away.
