Eden Park is a meadow on Mount Hood’s north side, covered in wildflowers and huckleberry with a stream winding through it. Eden Park Trail #600H, in the Mount Hood Wilderness, is a side route off Timberline Trail #600 that runs through the meadow between Wy’East Basin and Cairn Basin.
The easiest way in is Vista Ridge Trail #626. From that junction it’s 0.8 mile through woods and little meadows to Eden Park, then 0.5 mile uphill to rejoin the Timberline Trail near Cairn Basin. The meadow tends to be wet, and there’s a good campsite on higher ground near its middle. The last half mile of Forest Road 1650 to the trailhead is very rough.
