10.4 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
We were lucky to find a parking space given the number of cars there! We hiked the PCT south and then headed up to the Indian Mt. summit. We just love this amazing hike with some spectacular views! We love when the PCT breaks out into the open near the Indian Mt. Trail cutoff, where the view of the Eagle Creek drainage is breathtaking! The trail up to Indian Mt is an old gravelled road but becomes well padded in the last few 1/10's of a mile. The view of Mt. Hood from Indian Mt. is a jaw dropper, but don't go over that cliff! The temperatures were pleasant at this elevation, and we saw NO PCT through hikers.
