Snowshoeing at Trillium Lake

For Superbowl Sunday we decided to get outside and enjoy the snow. We chose Trillium Lake in the hopes that it wouldn’t be too busy.Trillium is a fantastic and popular little paradise just east of Government Camp. During the summer Mt. Hood reflects beautifully in the still waters, and during the winter the snow and ice creates a dramatic landscape.

Even with the busy parking lot we did manage to get some quiet time on the five mile loop trail. It is a great hike anytime of the year, but don’t expect to have it to yourself.
