On the southwest side of the Mt Hood bypass, I see a sign on my left “Trilium Lake 2mi” I actually passed it by, then turned around and came back – something was calling me for sure!
So, I drive back to this place in the middle of a dark forest, park and walk down to the Lake and OMG! what a sight to behold!
Later that evening I took the 2-1/2 mile hike around the lake, very scenic place. The colors and smells were terrific. Although the lake was crowded by folks enjoying the fishing and spring-like weather for Labor Day weekend, there wasn’t another soul on the trail.
The pictures here will tell the story, and although I stayed overnight and fished both evening and morning, I only caught a few small “stocker” trout. But there beauty of this place was well worth following the call.
