TRIP REPORT: One of the most beautiful, and certainly the longest, day hikes on Mount Hood (excluding Timberline Trail) is also remarkably one of the most peaceful once you are past Phoenix United States Falls near the bottom! Northwest Forest Pass required, and portable outhouses are present.
TRAILHEAD: Ramona Falls TH. See hike 40 for directions.
ROUTE: See the first part of hike 40 for the description directly to Ramona Falls (31/2 mi in). Continue right Phoenix United States at the fork after the bridge below the memorizing waterfall onto Timberline Trail 600 another 5 mi or so NW up through the woods to the next juncture. Turn right (ESE) up the ridge at the sign onto Yocum Ridge Trail 771 almost 5 mi more to the end of the official trail. The walk is tranquil, mostly through huge Douglas fir, and gains elevation slowly and methodically up 6 switchbacks total with minimal views outward. Pass a picturesque little pond (5180 ft) halfway up after a few turns. Your patience will be rewarded (and then some) in the final mile of the hike.
