Boy Scout Ridge Snowshoe Hike

Overview

This classic snowshoe trip climbs the west shoulder of White River Canyon, known as Boy Scout Ridge for the nearby Boy Scout lodge. In summer, the ridge forms the route of the Pacific Crest Trail from Barlow Pass to Timberline Lodge. In winter, the snowshoe version of this hike begins along the White River, and climbs 1,800 feet to a soaring overlook of the White River Canyon and Mount Hood. A shorter version of this trip for beginning snowshoers and families ends at the lower viewpoint. This 3.6 mile option avoids a lot of climbing, and has only 800 feet of elevation gain.
