Field Trip: Mount Hood Meadows Chairlift
Leader: Ron Klump
Location: Mt Hood Meadows Ski Area
This hike uses the Mount Hood Meadows chair lift to quickly gain the high mountain meadows for stunning displays of a wide variety of alpine flowers. From the chairlift, hike west and loop back down to the parking lot. When the wildflowers have dried out everyplace else, this is the place to go for stunning views of the high mountain meadows. Some of the most accessible and spectacular displays are on the Mount Hood Meadows ski slopes where a widely diverse panorama of alpine flowers bloom in this late season. Last year lift ticket prices were $22 on the day of the hike or $20 if purchased online; seniors 75 and older ride free. This is a joint hike with the Suksdorf Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society and the NPSO Portland Chapter.
