Always one of my favorite hikes... Tom, Dick and Harry. I like to do this hike on a whim, by myself, or when I just don't want to think of another hike to do. It's easy to get to, popular and has an enjoyable, steady incline. Mirror Lake is about half way to the summit of TDH and many people turn around at that point. I only turned back at Mirror Lake when the snow is deep and I'm wearing snowshoes. Other than that I always hike to the top. Sometimes there's a spectacular view of Mt. Hood and other times there is no view at all. Today was one of the no-view days. A great hike regardless! 35 degrees and snow flurries - so exciting! Bring on the winter fun!
