Overview
This hike takes in a variety of natural settings. On the crowded shores of Lost Lake , you'll hike under tall old growth, pass lush bogs, and get a stunning view of Mount Hood . Heading up the Huckleberry Mountain Trail, you'll leave the crowds behind and, using the Pacific Crest Trail, enjoy a four-mile ridge crest saunter to the top of Buck Peak , the site of an old lookout and the highest point in Multnomah County. From this viewpoint, you can get views north to Mount Adams and Mount Rainier as well as south to Mount Jefferson . Lost Lake sparkles in its dark green forest mantle below. Note that once you begin your ascent on the Huckleberry Mountain Trail, you'll be inside the Bull Run Watershed, which means you have to stick to the trails. Those doing this as a backpack will probably want to camp at Salvation Spring , just north of the Pacific Crest-Huckleberry Mountain Trail Junction .
