Summer is an ideal time to hit the hiking trails on Mt Hood for wildflowers and waterfalls. For the Best Oregon Waterfalls with spectacular Wildflower Bloom start at the Mt Hood Meadows Ski Resort parking lot. The wildflowers were amazing. The views were stunning. Take a bit off your mileage with a ride on the Stadium chair lift for trail access.
Umbrella Falls, in the Mt Hood National Forest, is found near the headwaters of the East Fork of the Hood River. It veils 59 feet over a rough wall of reddish bedrock amid a forested meadow glade.
Umbrella Falls exhibits a significant variance in flow as the season progresses. Snow will linger in the basin well into July, but by September the amount of water flowing over the falls is greatly reduced.
You can extend your hike with the Umbrella Falls (#23) and Sahalie Falls, a 3.4 mile moderately trafficked trail located near Mount Hood Parkdale, Oregon that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, wildflowers, nature trips, and bird watching and is best used from May until September.
