Скачать или смотреть 6 best hikes in Mt. Hood's Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness

Oregon is renowned for its wilderness areas, found in high desert landscapes and around towering volcanoes, but you don’t need to go far from the state’s largest city to get there.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we explore the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness of the Mt. Hood National Forest, found just 50 miles east of Portland.

This wilderness area has rushing rivers, dense evergreen forests dripping with moss and great views of the tallest mountain in Oregon. It’s a perfect destination for day hikers and backpackers alike, with hikes that range from easy to difficult.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
• Why the Salmon River Trail is one of Oregon’s best backpacking spots.
• Devils Peak is an easy hike with a great payoff.
• Hunchback Mountain is one of the most challenging trails in the wilderness.
• What you’ll find on the Eagle Creek Trail (no, not that Eagle Creek Trail).
