Mirror Lake & Mt Hood Scenic Forest
As we began our accent up Mt Hood on the ski lift, we froze as we swung perilously over sharp rocks and blunt boulders six stories below our dangling feet, no soft comforting snow beneath us, just bare rock waiting for us. We could hardly move, dared not. Annie gave me a look and a sound escaped her lips like Nancy Kerrigan, WHY, WHY?! But it was OMG. After finally getting to the top and crawling out of the lift, we decided to walk down. Then it was on to beautiful Mirror Lake just below Mt Hood in Oregon. This video has great background music and wait until you see Mirror Lake. The Sandy River is also featured.

Ancient Lakes to Columbia River Hike - Washington State
Ancient Lakes, near the Columbia River is a fantastic place to experience desert wildlife and vegetation, and the power of catastrophic flooding during the last ice age that created this place. We continued on all the way to the Columbia River from the lakes, for an even better overview of this area. Be sure to bring plenty of water, and watch out for rattlesnakes and poison ivy.

In 1845, 53 year old Samuel K. Barlow of Illinois arrived at The Dalles. He became very disgruntled at the high tolls being charged to transport emigrants down the Columbia. He was also very concerned about the extreme hazards of the trip. Barlow scouted out a wagon road around the south side of Mt. Hood, which he began operating as a toll road in 1846. It was a very rough road, with trees and rocks making the journey even more difficult.
The Barlow Road was the last overland segment of the Oregon Trail before reaching the Willamette Valley. This road provided an alternative to the dangerous and expensive route that used rafts to transport wagons down the Columbia River. But it was not free. The Barlow Road was the first place on the 2,100 mile Oregon Trail where tolls were charged. When the road opened in 1846, tolls were $5.00 per wagon and 10 cents for every head of livestock. Five dollars was about one week's wages, but consider the alternative -- floating down the Columbia River in boats or rafts cost nearly $50.00! By 1863, tolls had changed to $2.50 per wagon and team, 75 cents for horse and rider, and 10 cents for other livestock.
The Barlow Road operated under many owners as a toll road from 1846 to 1919. There were no tolls after 1919 when the estate of the final owner deeded the road to the State of Oregon.
The Mount Hood National Forest maintains 40 miles of Barlow Road corridor. Much of the road on the Forest is still in use today for recreation activities. About 30 miles remain intact, but not always in a form you would expect. The Barlow Road underwent an evolution of travel modes--from oxen-pulled wagon to Model A Fords. In the Zigzag Valley, much of the original route is beneath U.S. Highway 26. Motorized travel meant mechanized re-routing and maintenance. The new motorized routes (including Mount Hood Loop Highway of 1924) left many isolated pieces of pristine wagon ruts. Rut traces are still visible today.
The ruts are actually a swale--a five to six foot wide trench worn out by the wagon and the stock that pulled them. Near Pioneer Woman's Grave, they get four to five feet deep. Fine traces exist within 200 feet of paved parking at Pioneer Woman's Grave and Barlow Pass. The one mile hiking trail from Barlow Pass to Pioneer Woman's Grave has some of the best rut traces to be seen; they are marked with rustic Original Wagon Route signs. There are also fine traces near Devil's Half Acre. Without formal maps, ruts on Laurel Hill are for the true rut nuts to search out. Wagons were lowered at Laurel Hill; a stump with rope burn was near the top of chute number two, but the marks have disintegrated through time.

It's Still Winter On The Blair Lake Trail!
It's Still Winter On The Blair Lake Trail-
On June 17, 2017 my friend Randi and I attempted to hike from Blair Lake up to Mule Mountain, however a few miles into the hike we hit 6 foot snow banks and completed lost the trail in the woods. But we managed to climb up to a viewpoint, although it wasn't the epic view that we came for, it was still pretty awesome.

MOUNT HOOD NATIONAL FOREST USA
Mount Hood and the Columbia Gorge symbolize the natural beauty of Oregon, yet much of these amazing landscapes remain unprotected. The mountain's high-elevation snowfields have received Wilderness designation, but the more biologically diverse lower flanks and surrounding ridges remain unprotected. Through cutting-edge technology and the efforts of more than 500 volunteers, Oregon Wild has identified unprotected natural areas in the Mount Hood National Forest over the past decade and sought federal Wilderness designation to preserve them.
In January 2009, Oregon Senators Ron Wyden (D) and Jeff Merkley (D) introduced legislation that would give Wilderness protection to 127,000 acres and designate 80 miles of rivers around Mount Hood and in the Columbia Gorge as Wild and Scenic Rivers.
The compromise plan includes the scenic canyons along White River, the biologically diverse forests of Fifteenmile Creek, the old-growth forest surrounding Roaring River and the beautiful whitewater of the East Fork of the Hood River.
The Lewis and Clark Mount Hood Wilderness is an important step toward preserving the scenic beauty, biodiversity, clean drinking water and unparalleled recreational opportunities for future generations of Oregonians.
Mirror Lake & Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain - May 2016
I love this hike. It's a 6.2 mile hike up with switchbacks, snow, cliffs, and scrambles to a 4700 ft summit. I try to do it in the Winter and Summer. This time I brought my oldest son, and my parents (62, 60). They rocked it! There was still snow on the North facing slopes, so we had to be careful in the exposed cliffs. The epic views at the end were all worth it. I'm so proud of my parents.
