Sightseeing

Great couple hour hike, one big downside is that the trailhead is right at Skibowl so its very popular. Recommend going early especially on weekends. NW Forest Pass or snow pass required and can be purchased at the Thriftway.

Best hike on Hood, its a 40 mile loop around the Mountain, so usually a backpacking trip but you can access part of the trail including the PTC from Timberline Lodge or Ramona Falls.

Great waterfall and hike near the cabin, the bridge on the Sandy River washed out so be cautious about water crossings. Not recommended when rain is near, etc.

Small convenience store by the Tavern. Sells candy, ice cream, beer, snacks, and firewood. Not a huge selection but you do not have to go on the highway to get there.
