Overview
The Boulder Lakes are in a forgotten corner of the Mount Hood region, yet remain close enough to Portland to be a day hike destination. There are good campsites at both Boulder Lake and Little Boulder Lake , so this loop hike could work as an overnight backpack. Note that the hike begins with an elevation loss if you follow the recommended route, but there is an alternate trailhead described in the Boulder Lakes Hike that puts the climbing on the front end of the hike and has a less bumpy access route. Also, please note that 0.8 miles of the loop follows a little-used logging spur—you will be unlikely to encounter vehicles, but should keep an eye out for them nonetheless.
