The Ramona Falls Trailhead provides access to numerous trails including the Sandy River, Ramona Falls and Pacific Crest Trails. By combining all three of these trails, visitors can make the Ramona Falls Loop through the Mount Hood Wilderness.

Ramona Falls is a jewel drawing visitors to the area. The Sandy River, a designated Wild and Scenic River, is a dramatic example of the forces that a glacial fed river can bring forth to change the landscape. Physical signs of a volcanic debris flow from over 200 years ago are evident where the trail is near the Sandy River.

Provides access to: Ramona Falls Trail #797 , which enters Mount Hood Wilderness .

From the Ramona Falls Trailhead, visitors take the Sandy River Trail #770 one mile eastward to where it crosses the Sandy River. There is no footbridge. Visitors will eventually come to the Ramona Falls "loop" itself.

Large parking area accommodating more than 50 vehicles. Vault toilets available and maintained May 1 - October 31.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
