    They're all great, and where I'd send tourists.

    The Best Hikes in Oregon are the ones I selfishly keep to myself.

    The LOST LAKE BUTTE TRAIL is a good one. The view when you reach the top is amazing.

    The Mountian Lakes Wilderness has a loop trail that goes by 5 lakes in about 3.5 miles. One of them (Lake Natasha) is the clearest lake in North America for its size. It's, literally, like glass. Look3 3 feet deep where it's 30 feet...

    I'm also partial to the hike north out of Irish & Taylor lakes. Wonderful hike.

    Of those on this list, the old Masthead trail (now it's renamed to Cascade Head Trail) out of Ecola is one never to miss.

    Are you, and a Central Oregonian? I live about 30 minutes from there, and love hiking into the many little lakes below the TAYLOR BURN AREA.

    I used to live in K Falls. We hiked all over the east side of the Cascades.
