Tilly Jane Trail Description
Situated in an area previously devastated by a wildfire, the Tilly Jane Trail is a spectacular hike in Mount Hood National Forest that will test your fitness and provide stunning views.
Setting out from the trailhead on Cloud Cap Road, you will make your way to the southwest, passing through a beautiful forest landscape alongside Doe Creek. After passing by the Cooper Spur Ski Area, the trail continues to climb uphill through the tree cover, eventually opening up into a meadow.
Continuing on to the southwest, you will navigate the old burned out section of the forest, taking in the amazing views of the surrounding landscape before arriving at the edge of Tilly Jane Creek. Here, you will cross over the creek to find the endpoint of the hike at the Tilly Jane Campground and Tilly Jane Guard Station. If you aren’t planning on camping overnight, simply retrace your steps back downhill to return to the trailhead where you started.
