SILENT PERSPECTIVES of PEACEFUL Ramona Creek! | Ramona Falls | Mount Hood Wilderness | 4K | Oregon

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!
Road conditions - It is highway to the turnoff road to Ramona Falls. This is also a road that approaches several campgrounds. It has some very large potholes in it from washouts, so I would recommend extreme caution going over those bumps and holes at a very slow speed, and do so AT YOUR OWN RISK! I would say the road itself in my humble opinion was passable, I'd say for most vehicles with proper caution and patience it is doable, and I've been on far worse forest roads all around Central Oregon - do watch for road conditions as far as snow/ice depending on the time of year.
