Umbrella Falls
Umbrella Falls fans about 59 feet down a rough wall of reddish bedrock on the East Fork Hood River below the Mt. Hood Meadows ski area. The surrounding meadows bloom with wildflowers in mid-to-late summer.
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 US Forest Service (Mt. Hood National Forest) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

The Umbrella/Sahalie Falls Trail #667 reaches it about 3.4 miles (loop) with roughly 675 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Government Camp. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with US Forest Service (Mt. Hood National Forest) for closures and current conditions.
Summer. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
