Mount Hood’s north side offers spectacular views and endless adventures

Mount Hood holds endless adventuring opportunities. Famous for being a playground for ski and snowboard enthusiasts, the south side of the mountain receives a lot of love, rightfully so, for places like Timberline Lodge, Mount Hood Meadows and Mount Hood Skibowl. But the north side of the mountain offers plenty of activities, too, especially in the summer. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we recount our last trip to the north side of Mount Hood, where we filmed for Peak Northwest’s video series. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: McNeil Point is a tough but rewarding hike with incredible views of Mount Hood. Lost Lake offers numerous camping accommodations. Boat, kayak and paddle board rentals are available for Lost Lake visitors. Parkdale has a great brewery and a mysterious lava flow. Subscribe to Peak Northwest anywhere you listen to podcasts.
