Great endurance hike begins with the hike in to Ramona Falls, then continuing up the Timberline Trail to the Yocum Ridge junction, climbing through dense forest to a high alpine meadow with unparalleled views of the west side of Mt. Hood. Head around the ridge for a little more climbing to get up even closer to the mountain. Portland Hikers Link

Epic hike on the west side of Mt Hood. From Ramona Falls, ascend ramp-like trail to stupendous viewpoint. We're meeting early and moving fast so we have time to go beyond the first viewpoint. Bring camera, hat, and sunscreen. 17.4 miles, 3,800'.| Other Information | |
