Watch one of Mount Hood's most majestic waterfalls drop to the creek below surrounded by a sea of white on this snowshoe trek sure to please photographers and more.
Level: Moderate
Distance: 4 miles
Elevation Gain: 500 feet
Leader: Erik Fernandez
Location: Mount Hood National Forest
Tamanawas Falls cascades 100 feet over a cliff along Cold Springs Creek. This waterfall is truly breathtaking and can be nothing short of magical in the winter.
Located on the east--and less visited--side of the mountain, Tamanawas is a favorite amongst photographers. While the trail can get crowded during the warmer months, winter offers up a more quiet exploration.
Whether you are coming for a good workout, a new experience on snowshoes, or a chance to capture the perfect photo, the snow and the falls make a pretty good backdrop.
*This trail can be a bit tricky depending on snow conditions, so this trip is best suited for those who are comfortable in the snow and have good balance.
Snowshoes are not provided. Rentals can be made at REI at 1405 NW Johnson St, 503.221.1938 and at Oregon Mountain Community at 2975 NE Sandy Blvd, 503.227.1038.
