Carson is a small place which lies just over the border from the iconic Mount Hood National Park in Oregon. It is somewhere that is surrounded by mountains and lush, pine forests from every angle, which makes it the perfect place for campers to come and explore a sprawling mountain wilderness. When you are here, you will likely be overwhelmed about where you can start your adventure, but a great place to visit is the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, which is home to miles of undiscovered trails and monumental views. The best views can be found when you go to Mount Adams, and you can even hike over volcanic land when you go to Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.
