Hiking the Paradise Park Loop, Wy'east, Oregon

Paradise Park is one of my favorite hikes on Mount Hood. Starting at Timberline Lodge, you’ll hike up to the Pacific Crest Trail and head North into Paradise Park. You can do this hike as a lollipop loop or as an out and back. Either way you’ll be treated to amazing views. Pick a clear day and start early and don’t forget your sunscreen; as you can probably tell from the pictures, there is not a lot of shade along the trail.
