Since 2005, Mt. Hood Outfitters has operated as the primary resource for outdoor adventure in the Government Camp area and in the Mt. Hood National Forest. The outfitter guide company began when it acquired the only permit to operate snowmobile tours in the Mt. Hood National Forest. its main services consisted of guided snowmobile tours in the winter and hiking tours in the summer. In the summer they now offer backpacking trips, mountain biking, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, horseback riding, horse packing, whitewater rafting and fishing in addition to their hiking tours. Once the snow comes in late fall, they begin to transition over into the winter activities, which now consist of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in conjunction with the featured snowmobiling. From kids to grandparents, Mt. Hood Outfitters will continue to serve as their recreation specialist, guide and outfitter for the Mt. Hood area for years to come.
