Before you start booking vacation rentals and packing for your trip, take a moment to review a few crucial tips for getting the most out of your Mt. Hood Territory stay:
Check the Fine Print: Pet fees, weight limits and room availability are always subject to change — so be sure to call before booking online. Many properties also limit unattended dogs or require a mobile number on file for bark alerts.
Pack Essentials: Leash, biodegradable waste bags and plenty of water. Alpine sun is intense even in winter, so collapsible bowls are a must.
Know the Rules: Most Mt. Hood trails allow dogs, but leashes are usually mandatory in developed recreation areas during wildlife-sensitive spring months.
