Timberline Trail, Circular mountain trail at Mount Hood, Oregon, United States
The Timberline Trail extends for 41.5 miles around Mount Hood, crossing glacial rivers, dense forests, and alpine meadows through varied elevations.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the trail between 1934 and 1938 during the Great Depression as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal programs.
Timberline Lodge, positioned at a primary access point, serves as a central gathering location for hikers starting their journey on the trail.
The trail becomes accessible from July to September when snow melts and river crossings are safer, with permits available at trailhead kiosks.
William Langille made the first recorded circumnavigation of Mount Hood in the 1890s, setting the path for what would become the Timberline Trail.
