Trillium Lake
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF TRILLIUM LAKE
Stunning, spectacular, and incredible are words I have seen to describe this small lake situated at the base of Mt. Hood. Trillium Lake is found in Mount Hood National Forest, near the small community of Government Camp in northern Oregon, and is well worth a visit to enjoy and photograph.
On any summer afternoon, this wonderful location will be filled with families, kayakers, hikers, fishermen, and swimmers, all enjoying the fantastic views of Mount Hood from this crystal-clear lake. But once the crowds clear, this majestic place transforms into one of the most beautiful vistas found anywhere in the Northwest. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this stunning, spectacular, and incredible location.Images and location summary by Tim Wier

I would rate the difficulty of this trail as a 1 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). The location of this shot is an easy 100 yard walk from the parking area.
With its perfectly placed view of Mt. Hood, this magnificent location can be photographed from several points around the lake. However, in my opinion, the best place is along the road/beach area , about 100 yards from the main parking lot.
The main challenges are to find the best light, hope for a perfectly still cold morning …
There are many ways to photograph Trillium Lake. I used a 24mm lens for the shot above.
