First time doing the loop clockwise. Stopped by the Sandy River guard station on the return hike.

It's been a couple years since I last hiked this. Had a narrow window to squeeze in a hike today and this was a great option. Close to town and not difficult at all. Not crowded on a weekday.

Lolipop loop to the falls with Ron. Crossing the Sandy River was pretty easy. I went across a log and Ron found some rocks to jump across. Very pretty hike near Mount Hood. Part of the trail is on the PCT. Cool falls. :)

I headed to Mt. Hood planning to hike to Mirror Lake, but heavy clouds started to roll in. Knowing that I wouldn't get the opportunity to take in the views of Mt. Hood from the lake, I decided to detour to Ramona Falls Trail instead.

I didn't know if the trail would be open when I arrived. The bridge crossing the Sandy River was washed out last month when a flash flood killed a 23 year old hiker. With the summer ending so soon, I doubted the bridge would have been replaced. As I headed up trail, I inquired with a couple that was headed back and they confirmed my suspicions- the bridge was gone. However, they informed me there was a log crossing in place just upstream of the bridge that wasn't too tough.

When I arrived at the log crossing, there were already two girls in the process of sliding their way across the logs instead of trying to walk them. While not the most stylish technique, it looked safer then trying to walk across- so I opted to copy them :oops: .

I kept pace with the girls for the much of the remainder of the hike to the falls. But for some reason they stopped 100 yards short of the falls and headed back to their car...? I couldn't stop thinking about it for the rest of my hike- why would they quit when they were so close to the end? :-k By the time I got back to the trailhead their car was gone, so I guess I will never know.

Arrived at the parking lot around 9:30 AM to find only two other cars. No snow until we crossed the Sandy river. We took the loop counter clockwise. The snow on the trail wasn't too bad but it makes the going uphill a little more difficult. Once we made it to the cut-off for the falls, the snow got deeper. Probably at least a foot deep. Arrived at the falls to find we had all to ourselves. Very nice. Pretty of places to eat lunch. As we were finishing up two more couples showed up. One couple was in short-sleeves and shorts! It was nice in the sun but I'm not sure it was that warm! With the snow though you definitely needed sunglasses. Mt. Hood gave us some nice views but never a fully un-obstructed view. Eventually we'll take a hike where we get a crystal clear view with no clouds. A lovely hike nonetheless.
