Ramona Falls Hike, Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon, OR Adventure Description by Tyson Gillard | 06.12.12 The 120-foot Ramona Falls is tucked away on the western flanks of Mount Hood, and while the cascade is a remarkable destination by itself, the trail leading to the falls is equally delightful. You'll begin hiking along the open and sandy bed that flanks the Sandy River. The granular nature of the soil means that the river bed is home to a distinct blend of flora not typically found in the Mount Hood area, such as the many lodgepole pines, Oregon beaked moss, juniper haircap moss and broom moss. Once you've reached Ramona Falls, loop back on the trail’s northern section, where you'll gain a great appreciation for Ramona Creek. The trail follows the creek and adjacent cliffs downstream as it weaves through a forest of western hemlock, noble fir and western red cedar. If you are in the mood for something a little more challenging or you are looking for some good backpacking, continue on the Ramona Falls trail to Bald Mountain/McNeil Point, the scenic and secluded Yocum Ridge, or to the incredible wildflower haven of Paradise Park.

May 10: GTRT – Wahclella Falls Tread Work and Herman Creek Root Wad Removal: Frank and Terry Report: Segment 1: Did tread work and rock removal on approximately 0.4 miles of the Wahclella Falls Trail. Completed reconstruction of the trail at the site of a landslide just north of where the loop section of the trail begins. Also reconstructed the trail at the site of a landslide just north of the second bridge across Tanner Creek. Also removed rocks from other portions of the trail, did some brushing, and rebenched the trail where needed. Segment 2: For the second half of the day we moved to the Herman Creek Trail where we used rigging to remove a very large root wad from the trail and then rebenched where the root wad had been. Made two attempts to remove a second root wad from the trail but were defeated both times due to embedded roots. When this root wad is finally removed, it appears it may take a good portion of the surrounding trail with it. 2. May 10: Let's Celebrate! Frank Fever Report: Celebration of Frank’s amazing work. It was at Thunder Island and they gave out prizes. There were lots of people, there was a cake with his face on it, and it was really fun.

Hood (OR HWY 35) Corridor. The Hood River-Mt. Hood Corridor Plan is a long-range (20-year) program for managing all transportation modes within the Oregon Highway 35 corridor from the 1-84 junction to the US 26 junction (see Corridor Map). The first phase of that process has resulted in the attached Interim Com'dor Stvategy. The Interim Corridor Strategy is a critical element of the Hood River- Mt. Hood Corridor Plan. The Corridor Strategy will guide development of the Corridor Plan and Refinement Plans for specific areas and issues within the corridor. Simultaneous with preparation of the Corridor Plan, Transportation System Plans (TSPs) are being prepared for the cities of Hood River and Cascade Locks and for Hood River County. ODOT is contributing staff and financial resources to these efforts, both to ensure coordination between the TSPs and the Corridor Plan and to avoid duplication of efforts, e.g.

    208 OREGON WILD Afterword JIM CALLAHAN One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast.... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of your- selves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious still- ness, the lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men with their hearts in a safe-deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. —Edward Abbey1 Edward Abbey. Ed, take it from another Ed, not only can wilderness lovers outlive wilderness opponents, we can also defeat them.

To say 1920s and 1930s, by the late 1940s and 1950s, it was methodically undoing whatever nothing of their values as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all good it had done earlier by declassifying administrative wilderness areas that contained the gardens and parks of town. any commercial timber. —John Muir1 Just prior to the end of its second term, and after receiving over a million public comments in support of protecting national forest roadless areas, the Clinton Administration promulgated a regulation (a.k.a. “the Roadless Rule”) to protect the Inadequacies of Administrative remaining unprotected wildlands (greater than 5,000 acres in size) in the National Forest System from road building and logging. At the time, Clinton’s Forest Service Protections chief Mike Dombeck asked rhetorically: here is “government protection,” and then there is government protection. Mere public ownership — especially if managed by the Bureau of Is it worth one-quarter of 1 percent of our nation’s timber supply or a fraction of a Land Management — affords land little real or permanent protection. fraction of our oil and gas to protect 58.5 million acres of wild and unfragmented land T National forests enjoy somewhat more protection than BLM lands, but in perpetuity?2 to fully protect, conserve and restore federal forests often requires a combination of Wilderness designation and additional appropriate congressional Dombeck’s remarks echoed those of a Forest Service scientist from an earlier era.

Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan.

    Timberline Trail #600 Stock Only Allowed on the Southwest Segment That Recreation Opportunity Guide Overlaps the Pacific Crest Trail #2000

    Timberline Trail #600 Stock only allowed on the southwest segment that Recreation Opportunity Guide overlaps the Pacific Crest Trail #2000 Distance ........................................ 24.5 miles (one way) Elevation ....................................... 3480-7320 feet Snow Free .................................... July to October Most Difficult Trail Highlights: This trail enters the Mount Hood Wilderness Area. The Timberline Trail is a classic Pacific Northwest trail circumnavigating Mount Hood with alpine vistas, waterfalls, alpine meadows and west side Cascade forest. It was constructed primarily by Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s and encircles Mount Hood at or near treeline. The segment of trail between Timberline Lodge and Yocum Ridge overlaps the Pacific Crest Trail #2000. Trail Description: This trail can be accessed from many different points. The trail climbs in and out of glacial fed drainages throughout its length. Most hikers find the fast moving river fords to be the most challenging part of the trail. Newton, Coe, Muddy Fork, Sandy and White Rivers are typically the most challenging fords but are typically not more than knee deep. Regulations & Leave No Trace Information: Wilderness Permits are required between May 15 and Oct 15. Group size is limited to 12. Stock are counted in the group size. For example, 3 people riding their own horse plus a spare horse in the group for packing would make a group of 7. Campfires are prohibited in these areas: Within 500 feet of Ramona Falls and McNeil Point Within the tree covered island in Elk Cove and Elk Meadows Within Paradise Park Camping is prohibited in the following locations: Within any meadow Within the tree covered islands of Elk Cove and Elk Meadows Within 500 feet of Ramona Falls Leave No Trace Plan Ahead and Prepare: Prepare for extreme weather, hazards and emergencies.
