Trillium lake is a beautiful spot to get amazing photos of Mt. Hood. It is also nice for some fishing with some 20”+ trout swimming in there. About an hour from Portland. It is used pretty heavily, and people suck, so it isn’t the cleanest area. You will find some bottles floating around with some trash here and there, but it isn’t trashed.

Must happened to be a rare, beautiful first week in October where it was in the 80’s and the skies were about as clear as can be.
