Hike Description
The Ramona Falls trail is one of the easier, more popular hikes in the Mount Hood area. Ramona Falls is very scenic and makes a great destination.
Start South from the trailhead past the information board. The first mile goes along the South side of the Sandy River. Be careful because the Sandy River can undercut the trail causing it to collapse.
At about mile 1 is a bridge across the Sandy river. The bridge is put in about May and removed about October each year. This bridge occasionally gets washed out during the hiking season. Contact the Mount Hood Info Center to see if it's in currently. It's possible to cross the Sandy River without the bridge. People have been killed crossing this river so be careful.
At about mile 1.2 is the junction with the River Side Ramona Falls Trail (#497) which goes right and the Creek Side Ramona Falls Trail
to be continued...
