Ramona Falls is a jewel drawing visitors to the area. The Sandy River, a designated Wild and Scenic River, is a dramatic example of the forces that a glacial-fed river can bring forth to change the landscape. Physical signs of a volcanic debris flow from over 200 years ago are evident where the trail is near the Sandy River.

Que faut-il apporter ?

Bring Your Swimsuit...and your Winter Coat!

The Mt. Hood region is a beautiful seasonal destination. With this in mind, it's not uncommon to experience all four seasons in one day! You may wake up to a brisk, cool morning. Experience glorious sunshine during the afternoon. Then end the day with a torrential downpour. It is recommended to pack layers, always have a rain jacket on standby, and be prepared with sunscreen just in case.
