Trillium Lake (Mount Hood)

oregon-2016-072A great trail to check out if you are looking for a short flat place to get amazing views of Mount Hood is Trillium Lake.  While I would not recommend this trail for real trail running because it is short, flat, and incredibly crowded (it basically runs through a very popular campground), it should get an honorable mention as one of the prettiest trails I ran in the Mount Hood National Forest (Check out my Dog River post for more info on Mount Hood).

There really isn’t much more to say about this trail, because it is so short.  It is well marked, easy to run, and the view is absolutely breathtaking. So like the trail, this post was short and sweet. Thanks for reading.

Level of traffic High – Because it is based around a very popular campground you will very rarely find yourself alone
Vistas Great– Just look at these pictures
Potential Length Short – Loops is 2.5 miles
Level of Difficulty Easy – Short and flat, need I say more
Recommendations I would absolutely recommend running (or maybe walking) this trail as long as you are in the mood for short, flat and crowded, it is worth it for the awesome view of Mount Hood
