Boy Scout Ridge Hike

Overview

This section of the Pacific Crest Trail takes you from historic Barlow Pass into old growth groves with small meadows; then hike up the exposed alpine parklands of Mount Hood to a viewpoint overlooking the deeply gouged and unstable White River Canyon in the Richard L. Kohnstamm Wilderness. Elevation gain is gradual but the trail is relatively uncrowded and the plant life, views, and geology are fascinating.
