The Mt. Hood Timberline Trail is a 29.2-mile point-to-point route in Oregon's Mount Hood Wilderness, part of the Zigzag Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest. The trail climbs from about 3,350 feet to just over 7,300 feet, with a total one-way gain of 7,262 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route lies within designated wilderness. The trail is rated easy, and it is not suitable for horses or bikes. Because of the length and the climb, plan for a full day on foot. Timberline and Yocum Ridge both sit within half a mile of the route. For an overnight base, Lost Creek Campground is about 2.5 miles away, and the Sandy River, a canoeing spot, is roughly 1.6 miles off.
