The Wy’east Wonder follows two stunning ridgelines on Mt. Hood: Gunsight Ridge and Surveyor’s Ridge. Expect alpine meadows, old-growth forest, and wide-open views of the volcano and Cascade Range. The point-to-point layout makes every step feel like a true journey, moving you from high mountain terrain to valleys below. Runners encounter rocky stretches, single-track pine corridors, and fast descents that will light up your quads. The scenery is so gorgeous you may forget you are racing.
