Description
Paradise Park is one of the most beautiful alpine areas on Mount Hood. It's just above timberline. There is a large area of somewhat steeply sloping meadow filled with wildflowers.
The various branches of Lost Creek flow through Paradise Park. The South Fork has a slightly larger valley than the other branches, and a direct ascent up the South Fork takes you to Mississippi Head.
