Easy route with a good view of the mountain at mirror lake. Once we reached the lake we went on to the first viewpoint near Tom Dick and Harry mountain. Worth the extra effort for an even more spectacular view!
Lot’s of people and dogs around in the afternoon, would recommend going earlier in the day.
Don’t forget to buy a park pass!

It was my first time snowshowing so I wanted to make sure we had more than enough time. We went started earlier in the day (about 8 am) on Thursday and it was the perfect weather. Clear and sunny with fresh powder. We snowshoed across the actual lake (accidentally) since the paths weren't clear, but the landscape was beautiful and totally worth the trip. The route started to get busier as we headed back so i would suggest going earlier to have it to yourself.

Mirror Lake Trail
Solo, Anne in NC. FaceTime with her at the lake. Sunny and 80. TH right off Hwy 26. Winter cross country skiing trail.
Double wide trail groomed and heavily traveled with some buried boulders occasionally through mature Fir forest, made for faster hiking. Few creek crossings and along creek little bit. Money view of Mount Hood bumps up one star.
Mirror Lake loop (9/30/20, 11:21:33AM)
Relatively easy. New trail doesn’t match up with older maps of course. Easier hike and well worth it.
