Horseshoe Ridge Trail #774

Not the most amazing hike in Mt. Hood National Forest, but the view at the top is kinda spectacular. Just a few rogue clouds, so I was able to see Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood (of course) and Mt. Jefferson. The best part was the wildflower display...

Trail is a gentle slope of continuous uphill. Plenty of shade, but no water source. Also, this trail is shared with horses.

Would have liked to looped into Cast Creek Trail #773 via Zigzag, but time did not permit as it adds another two miles...there's always next time!
