Overview
On national forest lands just north and west of Government Camp, a network of trails wanders just below the southern boundary of the Mt. Hood Wilderness. These are cross-country ski trails in the winter, but in summer they are eminently hikeable although most of them are shared with mountain bikers and horses. You’ll only get glimpses of Mount Hood , but the landscape ranges from lush spring-fed forest on the west and east ends of the system, with drier lodgepole pine slopes in between. This is a good outing for a cloudy day or for those who don’t like too much elevation gain. The system can be accessed on the west end at Glacier View Sno-Park or the Thunderhead Trailhead , in the middle at the Glade Trailhead , or at the east end from the Summit Rest Area Trailhead .
