- We found a hidden gem in the Mount Hood area. It is a great alternative hike from the popular Trillium Lake area but without the crowds. Hike to Burnt Lake Trail in the Mount Hood Wilderness where you can catch a stunning view of the tallest mountain in Oregon. This is a great beginner-friendly hiking and backpacking trail in Oregon that offers an off-the-beaten-path and expansive view and reflections of Mount Hood.
Trail access is closed due to seasonal gate closure between Dec 1st and April 1st annually. The best time of year to hike Burnt Lake Trail is from late June to October.
Trail Name: Burnt Lake Trail 772
Distance: Approximately 8 miles total (out and back)
Elevation gain: 1,500 feet (457 m)
Dog-friendly trail, Northwest Forest Pass required to park at the trailhead, Wilderness Permits are required between May 15 and Oct 15, which are free at the trailhead.

Let us know what you thought about the video 🥾🏔 If you have any questions about this trail or any other trails area Mount Hood, let us know in the comments below. Cheers!
I enjoy your adventures music or no music. That being said the music brought in a peaceful element one ought to feel when doing wilderness activities. We're going to the Mt. Hood area for the second year late June early July and it has become one of our favorite areas. We're also going to the Baker Mountain area (WA) which if I remember, you two have been to and have a CZcams on. (?) We're very much looking forward to the Chain Lakes hike in that area. By the way, we will be 70 and 71 years old. Traveling, hiking and camping is what keeps us going!
Thanks so much for your nice message. So glad you found our video peaceful. We are trying to figure out our style. We love the Mt Hood area, such a good choice. We love Romana Falls that is right next to this hike. Also, we have another video recommend paddle boarding or hiking around Hidden Lake in the morning before 10am before the crowds: czcams.com/video/uvlAfpnmJxY/video.htmlsi=rY0GpHP0WjfyoLZs
We have a few videos on Mount Baker too. Hands down top 5 places to go in the PNW. Here is a Mount Baker video: czcams.com/video/fFW-Ycb5je0/video.htmlsi=5pokrDUA4jBKEYeA
So glad you both are staying active and enjoying it. It’s very good for the soul 🥰🏔️
I love this. Trying to plan my trip to Mt hood and other places in Oregon
That’s awesome! If you need more recommendations let us know. We have another video with some Mount Hood ideas. Has St Helen’s too, but you can always skip that part in the video ☺️czcams.com/video/uvlAfpnmJxY/video.htmlsi=J81SzXPBQOsBDK_p
such a beautiful nature, a great vlog and I love how music complements everything. Did I mentioned the dog? Subscribed! :)
Awe thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Our pups definitely love nature and we loved having them in our videos
The fog on the water shots are so cool! But then you pan out and see the mountain! 😍 So gorgeous!
Thank you! It was a beautiful morning! Love the name change. Hope you’re able to have a lot of hiking adventures this summer. Any top places you would like to see this summer?! We are heading to Alaska and Peru.
Nice hike, have done Ramona Falls trail many times and think I will try Burnt lake next time
Ramona falls is a great hike and one of our fav waterfalls in Oregon! You will love burnt hike, Recommend starting at sunrise to have the whole trail to yourself!
I love all the trails available in the Mt Hood area, so many possibilities and exploring. Thanks for sharing ❤️ So sorry for the loss of your dear fur baby Sadie 💔😢
There are so many and we have only scratched the surface. Our favorites are McNeil Point and Ramona Falls. Appreciate you watching. Thanks for your thoughts on the loss of our dog. It’s been tough for our family 💔but her memory lives on and we will always have her in our heart.
The Timberline Trail is on my bucket list. Hopefully this summer 😊
@@boringoldguy796 that one is on our list too! So many to fit in! We may be in Astoria in June, looking at the first weekend. Will you be around?
Definitely! Astoria is 1 1/2 hr south of here, an easy drive. I’m planning to visit my parents in CA over Memorial Day weekend but will return Monday. The first week of June I will be around.
@@boringoldguy796 that was our same thought. Helen has a photo shoot in Astoria and since we are not too far from Westport, we also thought seeing cape disappointment would be a nice stop too. Feel free to shoot us a DM on Instagram @helenandtimtravel or email us at helenandtimtravel@gmail.com
and we can link up!
I love all the little moments in this one! This video may not be as heavy on the grand sweeping views, but seeing the beautiful bits of nature was great. One of my favorite things about getting out into nature is being able to appreciate those cool moments like discovering giant hollowed-out trees or appreciating the frost on the foliage.
Wishing you all the best. Life is fleeting, but that just gives us more motivation to enjoy each moment to the fullest.
Thanks, Mark. This one we edited with heavy hearts so we stuck to focusing more on nature and our connection with it. Definitely about appreciating the little things for sure. Life is too short to not try our hardest to be present and mindful when we are out in nature. Something we struggle with all the time. Appreciate your thoughtful words. We miss our fur baby, Sadie 🥹🐾
Those trees are HUGE and the trails look beautiful 🤩
Oregon and the Pacific Northwest have the such large trees! We love it so much. Hope you have a chance to visit!
What a fantastic journey!
I enjoyed y'all adventure and your personality. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your adventures.Cheers Helen🫖 and Tim🍻
Thank you for watching! Cheers to more adventures ☺️The mountains really are our home away from home.
Lovely hike, thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was unexpected for sure. Have always wondered about that trail. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great review. Your dog is obviously well behaved but I have to say that we would be very concerned to see a Shepard off of the leash running towards us.
Your welcome! If we see any people, we usually put her back on leash. That particular morning no one else was on the trail since we started so early. 95% of the time we leash her. She has since passed, but she didn’t run after people. She was scared of everything 😔
I really need to get out to Oregon soon. Awesome stuff as always!
You’re always welcome to adventure with us and stay here if you head out this way. Happy adventuring! Thanks for your support, Cody!
Isn't that a beautiful spot? Looks like you had a great hike and you got lucky with a lack of crowds. This is normally a VERY busy, crowded, popular destination. On summer weekends hundreds of hikers head up there.
Such a beautiful spot! We wouldn’t have guessed it would get so crowded since it requires a bit more energy. Hardly saw anyone there. Better place to hike in the shoulder season then and a good beginner backpacking spot. Are you in the Portland area?
What kind of camera are you using?
In this video we used at Sony A7III but now we have Sony A7SIII. We are planning to update our gear list on our website this month at www.helenandtimtravel.com. If you want to sign up for our newsletter, we will definitely send an update 👍
Your absolutely right! Here is our gear list:
Your absolutely right! We need to start doing that in the CZcams description. Good idea 😉 helenandtimtravel.com/hiking-gear-list/
Is trillium still frozen over?
This time of year there is still snow and the gate/road is closed so you need to do a short hike to Trillium. Likely it’s not frozen any more. This trail is just an alternative for those interested in getting away from the crowds. It is a harder hike than Trillium. Let us know if you have questions ☺️
