viewing Mt. Hood. Gray Jays may suddenly appear from the depths of the
surrounding fir and hemlock forest to feed from your hand. On clear
evenings, watch the alpenglow on the mountain give way to star studded
nights, far from city lights.

Trillium Lake
Trillium Lake is located 7.5 miles south-southwest of Mount Hood and 1.5 miles east of Trillium Lake Basin Cabins. The lake itself was created by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1960 when a dam at the headwaters of Mud Creek was erected.
The area which is now the lake was part of the historic Barlow Road, a component of the Oregon Trail. Barlow Road at the time was a log road which extend across the marshes to the toll station at Summit Meadow (1866-1870). Barlow Cabin's east windows face Summit Meadow.
The Trillium is a genus of flower particularly noticeable in the area. Trillium should never be picked or harvested. Their flowers bloom once every 7 years, a unique and rare bloom best enjoyed in it's native setting.
Trillium lake is popular for fishing, camping and photography, often clearly reflecting Mount Hood.
