Cairn Basin

Overview

Cairn Basin, home of a shelter and several campsites, is on the north side of Mount Hood , between McNeil Point and Wy'East Basin . It is 4.7 miles from the Top Spur Trailhead if you go via the face of Bald Mountain , 4.1 miles if you go direct, and 4.2 miles from the Vista Ridge Trailhead . The shelter is open on one side, there's a fireplace with chimney, and though the roof drips when it's raining, it's still a good place to keep in mind in stormy weather.
