This was a 7 mile, 1100 FT Elevation Gain Day-Hike in Oregon, Mount Hood National Forest & Mount Hood Wilderness, hiking the Ramona Falls Lollipop Hike, arguably the most popular hike in the Mount Hood Timberline Zone, crossing Sandy River, hiking parallel to Ramona Creek, and ultimately arriving at the TRULY INCREDIBLE Ramona Falls as our turnaround point for this EPIC Day-Hike.
I also hiked farther down Pacific Crest Trail to a second Sandy River crossing South of Ramona Falls and I highly recommend adding that short extra section to get another perspective of Sandy River framing glorious Mount Hood.
This was hiked on 8/3/2023, and there were NO MOSQUITOES!
