Hike Description
The Ramona Falls Hike is a favorite summer destination for outdoor enthusiasts due to it easy trail, relative proximity to Portland, and it's beautiful climax at the wondrous Ramona Falls. This hike describes and out-and-back trail with a slightly longer loop option. Start south passed the information board. The first mile goes along the south side of the Sandy River. Be careful because the Sandy River can undercut the trail causing it to collapse. 

We got started late morning. It was not too warm yet and nice and sunny. 

The kids were super excited to get started since the trailhead was about. An hour from home. 

Had to get some beginning shots and of Mt Hood. 

Sawyer was So excited that his friend and family could join us on the hike. 

This was a first obstacle... Crossing the Sandy River footbridge!!!

Doesn't look like much from here but... Closer up that water is RUSHING!!

We made it!! Yeah!! And then there were lots of other bridges. The kids really enjoyed them!

We were quite happy to reach the falls and take a break!!

It was great to see my boy and his friend have such a good time on the hike :)

                              ............precious !!!

After 4 great hours on the trails we made it back to the car!! So proud of the kids!!

So glad we were able to try out this amazing hike. It was great!!!
