Laurance Lake High Ridge Trailhead serves a single route, the Laurance Lake High Ridge Trail, in the Hood River Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest. You reach it on Forest Road 2840, and the trailhead itself is a modest parking lot with room for six to eight cars.

Nothing else is provided here. There are no amenities, no restrooms and no potable water, so plan to be self-sufficient: carry drinking water, pack out what you bring in, and take care of restroom needs before you arrive.
