Hike Mt. Hood With Confidence
Mt. Hood Territory has a vast trails system for visitors of all experience levels. But you "otter" stay on trail. Going off trail can damage or kill certain plant and animal species, and can hurt the ecosystems that surround the trail. Always practice Leave No Trace principles: Leave rocks, vegetation and artifacts where you find them for others to enjoy.
Mt. Hood Paddle Rentals: Kayak, SUP And Raft
Mt. Hood Outfitters offers more summer adventures than just guided hikes. Here are a few guided water activities:
- Whitewater Rafting: Whitewater rafting is one of the most exhilarating experiences you can book through Mt. Hood Outfitters. Tackle the Clackamas River in Estacada on a guided rafting trip.
- Kayak/Standup Paddleboard Rentals: Visitors can rent kayaks and standup paddleboards throughout the summer months at Timothy Lake (open Friday-Sunday; weather dependent) and at Trillium Lake (open 7-days a week; weather dependent). We recommend visiting Trillium Lake midweek as it gets very busy and crowded on weekends.
