MAP & DIRECTIONS
DIRECTIONS: End of the road to Cloud Cap Campground.

The last 9 miles are rough and dusty. But one of our group came in a Prius. Just drive slowly.
You can possibly hike this, only 2.6 miles to Tilly Jane TH (~5900'), and 1000' gain.

SUMMARY: The loop goes from Cloud Cap -> Tilly Jane -> up to Timberline (#600) -> Couper Spur #600B -> Tie-in Rock.
Return #600B - East Moraine (#600X) or #600 to Cloud Cap.

Campground at Trailhead. Possible to camp around the hiking area. Water scarce beyond trees (quickly). In July, there may be lingering snow to melt.

Very dusty trail (almost feel like walking on beach at times).

You can climb Hood from here. But it looks dangerous. http://www.summitpost.org/cooper-spur/155414
