The day after we took the Mt. Hood Scenic Drive, I returned to Trillium Lake to hike the Trillium Lake Trail. Trillium Lake is one of my favorite places in the state of Oregon. I tried to hike this trail a couple of years ago, but at that time the trail was closed, a third of the way around, for repairs. I can understand this because a good portion of the trail is a boardwalk because otherwise the trail would be underwater most of the year. The trail is mostly flat and at only two miles long it makes for an easy hike. On this day there were a lot of other people on the trail so I stopped frequently to let others pass, take a break to eat some fruit, and drink some water. It was a great day for a hike with the temperature hovering around 75 degrees with a lite breeze. Perfect conditions for hiking. If you’re ever in the Mt. Hood area, be sure to check out Trillium Lake, you won’t be disappointed.
