I am planning another snow camping trip this weekend. I will be going to the Upper Clackamas, Oregon area off forest service road 58 (cuts north off Timothy Lake road) towards Hideaway Lake. We will be hiking on the road pulling pulk sleds with all our gear. Area map.

Last weekend I did the same thing, but to Twin Lakes (near Frog Lake SE of Government Camp). The problem with Twin Lakes is it is popular and there are an abundance of people.

Do any of you fellow Oregonians know other good snow camping spots around Mt. Hood that afford a degree of solitude? I live in Portland and prefer to keep driving time to a minimum to get as much time as possible outdoors. Due to work, my trips are normally only overnight, so hiking distances cannot be too great.
