Tamanawas Falls Loop
Overview
This is a moderate loop trail to Tamanawas Falls in Mount Hood National Forest. The route combines the Tamawanas, Tamawanas Tie, Elk Meadow and East Fork trails to make a loop with a quarter-mile out and back to Tamawanas Falls. The highlight of the hike is along Cold Spring Creek to the falls. The East Fork trail parallels highway 26 and so is loud.
