What Makes It Great

A 5-mile Sunday morning loop on 99% singletrack through wildflower meadows and mountain fir forest around Mt. Hood Meadows. Runners climb Umbrella Trail before joining the Timberline Trail for sweeping summit views, then descend back through meadows to the lodge. No time cutoff — welcoming to runners and hikers of all paces. A perfect entry point to the Wy'east Trailfest experience and part of the USATF Mountain, Ultra, Trail Running Youth Initiative for runners aged 14–18.
