Ramona Falls
A 120-foot lacy curtain of water that fans across a stair-stepped andesite cliff, reached by a 7-mile loop on the west flank of Mount Hood.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check USDA Forest Service (Mt. Hood National Forest, Mount Hood Wilderness) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Mid-July through early October. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
