McNeil Point is one of the most popular hikes on Mt Hood. For a complete description of the route up to the McNeil Point Shelter, please visit the Oregon Hiker's website at [url=http://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/McNeil_Point_Hike]http://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/McNeil_Point_Hike[/url] Please be aware that car break-ins do happen at popular trailheads. Never leave anything valuable in your car. We usually take the car registration out of our cars and carry them with us on the hike. You don't want someone breaking in and then finding out where you live.
