In the first days of our trip, we took nature walks around Mount Hood and enjoyed it very much, we had a very enjoyable time, we took hundreds of photos of the waterfall. Then we saw such neat places and had such different experiences that when we look back, my wife said that it was like a municipal cultural park here, next to the others. In the end, I'm posting this here by saying that every photo with a combination of mountain, stone, water, family is worth sharing šŸ˜¬ā¤ļø

Hardcore hike, a lot of beautiful views. A lot of mental and physical challenges. I found what I was looking for. Hopefully you will find as well

Salmon River Trailhead, great forest hike along the river. Picnic spots on nice sunny Riverside rocks. Walk-in campsites. Go on a weekday to have the place to yourself. Visit the nearby Sugarpine Drive-in after for some great food and treats...

There is free camping soon as you hit Zigzag. Mc.niel is huge and beautiful. Last time I was there it was free. Then from there all the way up 86 over the mountain there is both free and paid. All nice and well managed and others just far enough out of the beatin path to start telling late night big foot stories!

Dispersed camping I just read. So does that apply to camping 30-60 minutes outside Estacada? Thank you!

Valerie Francis | Feb 1, 2021
Kevin Molskness | Feb 2, 2021

There's a 10-15 mile stretch along 224 east of Estacada where dispersed camping is not allowed. Once you're past that (there is a sign), you can camp anywhere.

Is it open in this month Jan, Feb ?

Paul Romero | Feb 2, 2021

There are despersed campsites in the Mt Hood National forest. Or any number of pay camp sites, usually reserved earlier in the year over the internet. Despersed sites are those without bathroom facilities and you dont pay. You can google them. Hope this helps.

When is the best time to see the wild Rhododendrons this year?

Marilyn Ring | Feb 2, 2020
Augusto Rojas | Feb 3, 2020

It depends on your tastes. In spring it is comfortable for those who can not stand very cold. It's very comfortable. But in winter the wild must be very interesting. Full of snow that is the natural state of this place. Sorry for the translation I used Google
