In the early morning dawn, before daylight, the songbirds come to life in the forests of Mt Hood.  My favorite wake up call each morning is to just lie in bed, slowly greeting the day by listening to the calls, songs and often-unusual sounds of the forest’s springtime birds. 

The Villages of Mt Hood boast some of Oregon’s lushest temperate rainforest, serene meadows and old-growth forests in a clean and green environment of breathtaking beauty.

Favorite Hikes Around Mt Hood for You and Your Dog

One of the best reasons to bring your dog along on your next Mt Hood vacation is to enjoy the multitude of scenic trails meandering through the forests and alongside creeks and rivers.  With a happy gait and tail held high, a dog knows how to show us pure enjoyment.

The Villages of Mt Hood boast 100’s of miles of trails of all distances and difficulty levels.  Most have natural watering holes for your active dog.  Human companions will want to carry plenty of water for themselves plus a little extra for the sections of trails without water.

Now that spring is here, local waterfalls are breaking free of the winter’s ice and snow, just like the rest of us.  When you’re coming up to the Villages of Mt.
