Boulder Lakes Loop Hike

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 Boulder Lake , Little Boulder Lake and Bonney Meadows , so this loop hike could work as an overnight backpack. Note that the alternate approach to this loop is described in the Bonney Meadows to Boulder Lakes Hike , and features a developed campground at the trailhead. 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.
