High on the side of Mt. Hood.
About the Hike: Like white lace, 120-foot Ramona Falls drapes across a stair-stepped cliff of columnar basalt. The very popular trail to the shady grotto of this Mount Hood cascade starts out in a mossy alder forest beside the Sandy River's bouldery outwash plain. A loop trail to the falls follows a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail.
Difficulty: The difficult 7.1-mile loop to the falls gains 1000 feet of elevation.
Season: Open last April through October.
