点评:Maybe I failed to read enough review ahead of time but the trail route was not what I was expecting.
We drove here after a side-trip up to Timberline Lodge. The trailhead is located on the Highway 26. They have a fairly large parking lot and it had plenty of space when we arrived - around 4 p.m. on a Friday. You have to pay to park here (via a website on your phone) or it is free if you have some sort of state or national park pass. I think we paid $5.
My wife was very unimpressed with the cleanliness of the restrooms at the trailhead.
I was under the impression that the trailhead was close to the lake, and that the hike around the lake was 1 - 2 miles. However, in actuality, there was a 1.9-mile hike just to get to the lake, and then you could hike around it. We still had over an hour's drive to get back to Portland after the hike, so we debated how long we all wanted to spend here. We eventually decided to do a leisurely hike in for 20+ minutes and then turn around at some point and hike back. That would give us a 2+ mile hike, which was sufficient for our time slot.
The part of the trail we did hike was quite nice. There was a lot of shade, with occasional bridges over a creek and a few wildflowers. We saw people returning on the trail every 5 minutes or so - it is not desolate. The hike was relaxing and pretty.
If we returned to Mt. Hood, I would allocate more time and do this hike justice.

在前往 Timberline Lodge 后,我们开车来到这里。小道起点位于 26 号高速公路上。他们有一个相当大的停车场,我们到达时 - 下午 4 点左右,那里有足够的空间。在一个星期五。你必须付费才能在这里停车(通过手机上的网站),或者如果你有某种州或国家公园通行证,它是免费的。我想我们付了 5 美元。
我的妻子对入口处洗手间的清洁度很不满意。
我的印象是步道起点靠近湖泊,绕湖徒步 1 - 2 英里。然而,实际上,到达湖边需要步行1.9英里,然后您可以绕湖而行。徒步结束后,我们还有一个多小时的车程才能回到波特兰,所以我们讨论了要在这里待多长时间。我们最终决定悠闲地徒步 20 分钟以上,然后在某个时候掉头徒步返回。这将使我们有 2 英里以上的徒步旅行,这足以满足我们的时间段。
我们远足的那部分小径非常好。有很多树荫,小溪上偶尔有小桥和一些野花。我们看到人们每 5 分钟左右返回一次小径 - 它并不荒凉。徒步旅行很轻松,也很漂亮。
如果我们回到胡德山,我会分配更多时间来公正地徒步旅行。
