Mount Hood National Forest Winter Recreation Trails and Travel

When snow blankets the Oregon Cascades, Mount Hood National Forest and area around the iconic volcano is transformed into a winter recreation wonderland. This map of the core area around Mount Hood includes the many popular Sno-Park destinations for visitors to travel to and set out on winter adventures and shows the transportation and trail system as it is encountered in winter- when gates close and forest roads become routes for cross country skiers, snowshoers and snowmobiles. Designated routes on roads and trails through the forest are identified with unique symbology, as well as indication for what routes are groomed. A Sno-Park table identifies amenities and activities at each. Plan your next sledding trip or navigate on a long cross country ski route! Additional ECC Winter Maps present key areas such as Pocket Creek and Government Camp with a greater scale.
