Mt. Hood from the Timberline Trail above Lamberson Butte. Trees at this elevation grow incredibly slow and never get much over ten foot tall.
The trail to Elk Meadows passes by the junction to Umbrella Falls. It appears new trail signs were installed in 2010.
Smith's Fairybells (Latin name: Disporum smithii) growing along the Wildwood Trail. This plant is different from Hooker's Fairybells because the leaves and stems aren't hairy at all.
The first major creek the Elk Meadows Trail crosses is Clark Creek. This is an easy crossing with this nice log crossing.
Mt. Adams towers in the distance from the Timberline Trail. The Knarl Ridge fire has burned the trees in the foreground. The Gnarl Ridge Fire was started by lightning on Thursday night, August 7, 2008 and quickly spread. The fire burned until put out by w

A small spring in the forest near the junction of the Elk Meadows Perimeter trail and the Knarl Ridge access trail provides a lush growing area for marsh plants.
The shelter at Elk Meadows is pretty run down. The roof appears to be mostly waterproof.
The second major creek crossing on the Elk Meadows Trail is Newton Creek. As you can see, this crossing has to be replaced annually. Some years it is good and other years it is just some logs.- The Thurston Street Bridge crosses over the trail just at the Lower Macleay Trailhead.
- Many people bring their dogs on this trail. This is Scout, a 10 month Great Pyrenees puppy. This is on the Leif Erikson Trail.
Another view of Elk Meadows showing Mt. Hood. The trail goes around the perimiter of the meadow. The meadow around the shelter is less marshy.
Elk Meadows has fine views of Mt. Hood. The meadow is marshy in places.
Mt. Hood as seen from Lamberson Butte. This is a great place to take a break and enjoy majestic views.
