Hidden Lake Trailhead
The Hidden Lake Trailhead leads to the Hidden Lake Trail on the southwest side of the Mount Hood Wilderness. The trail passes Hidden Lake on the way to the Pacific Crest Trail #2000. Hidden Lake is more of a pond, but is still a pleasant destination.
The trail climbs to the wooded lake through rhododendron bushes, which bloom in profusion in June. For a longer hike you may continue to the upper terminus of the Hidden Lake Trail.
Provides access to: Hidden Lake Trail #779 and Mount Hood Wilderness.
