Snowshoe to Tamanawas Falls
Mount Hood, Oregon

3.6 mi
/ 590 ft gain
Starting at the Sherwood Trailhead, follow the sign towards Tamanwas Falls. You will walk through the woods towards the river, and cross it on the log bridge. After crossing the creek, you will begin to head uphill. Keep going this way through the woods for nearly 2 miles, and you will reach the 150 foot falls. You can explore around here and find the best angle for a photo op, but I find that ...

This easy trail in the Mt Hood National Forest has a journey just as lovely as the destination. The hike follows closely along the banks of Cold Spring Creek, up through a massive boulder field, and finally arrives at the 150ft tall Tamanawas

Lookout Mountain via High Prairie Trailhead
High Prairie Trailhead, Oregon
2.69 mi
/ 531 ft gain
Lookout Mountain should be the most popular destination in Oregon given its views to effort ratio. Mount Hood seems close enough to reach out and touch from the open, rocky summit, and views extend from the Three Sisters in the south to Mount Rainier to the north. While the hike is popular in the summer, Lookout Mountain sees far fewer people than nearby Elk Meadows or Mirror Lake. The Lookout ...
Dry Fly Fishing the East Fork of Hood River
Mount Hood, Oregon
4.0
This river may be a bit under the radar at the moment but not for long. This section doesn't have the big fish, that the main fork of the Hood River does but it will keep you busy with modest active trout perfect for a 3 or 5 weight rod in the summer time and a dry fly. It's a great beginner & intermediate river with easy access from the Polallie Trail Head off of Highway 35. A NW Fore...

This is a great trip for those who are new to backpacking.

Though there are several junctions along the trail, the route to Elk Meadows is clearly marked. You’ll begin on the ...
