(Click through a couple of times to get to larger pictures. The first two are especially worth it, if I do say so myself.)
Ramona Falls is worth the 90-minute drive from Portland, especially if it’s a beautiful, off-season day. My friend and I saw few people on the trail (a lot less than Mirror Lake two weeks ago, not too many more than Burnt Lake last Friday) and there was plenty of time and space to take in the basalt wall fall.
What I had forgotten is that getting to the falls is incredible, too, especially if you take the longer hiker’s trail and avoid the horse path.
3.7 miles one-way and 1000 feet is a small, small offering to be able to enjoy mountains and streams, especially in diminishing fall light.
There were no yellow jackets around, either!
