Burnt Lake Trail, Mt Hood: Best alternative hike to Trillium Lake! Escape the crowds!

We found a hidden gem in the Mount Hood area. It is a great alternative hike from the popular Trillium Lake area but without the crowds. Hike to Burnt Lake Trail in the Mount Hood Wilderness where you can catch a stunning view of the tallest mountain in Oregon. This is a great beginner-friendly hiking and backpacking trail in Oregon that offers an off-the-beaten-path and expansive view and reflections of Mount Hood.

Trail access is closed due to seasonal gate closure between Dec 1st and April 1st annually. The best time of year to hike Burnt Lake Trail is from late June to October.
