Tamanawas Falls trailhead

Description​:

The hike to Tamanawas Falls is one of the most popular hikes in the Mount Hood area and you will find throngs of people here year-round. This waterfall is one of those special hikes that is different during all four seasons, and it is worth checking out in spring, summer, fall and winter.  If you want to get a parking spot, this is one of those trailheads that you have to get to before 9am. If you are camping at one of the nearby campgrounds, or you're driving past the trailhead in the late afternoon/early evening, there will likely be plenty of parking after 5:30pm. Especially during the longer summer days, making this short hike an evening excursion is the way to go, and you might even have the waterfall all to yourself.

beginning of the Tamanawas Falls trail
The trail starts off by crossing the East Fork Hood River and then you will turn right onto the East Fork Trail #650. This trail takes you north for half a mile through a beautiful forest, until you see another trail junction. Here the East Fork Trail continues north for another 1.1 miles to the Polallie Trailhead (another parking option if the Tamanawas Trailhead parking is full). You will go left and follow the Tamanawas Falls Trail #650A across the North Fork Cold Spring Creek via sturdy log bridge.

North Fork Cold Spring Creek
From the creek crossing, the rocky trail follows the creek up the canyon through a canopy of Engelmann spruce trees, western red-cedar, Douglas fir, vine maple and alder. There are a few mini waterfalls along the way where one can stop to admire the creek. Even in the heat of the summer, the banks of the creek are lush and mossy. 
Continuing up the canyon, you will eventually climb above the creek a bit and see huge walls of andesite rock, where large chunks have broken off and obscured the original trail over the years. Here you have to climb over huge rocks, which can be slippery when wet after a rain, and when there is dust on them in the summer.

​After the rocky section, the trail climbs steeply up for just another few yards before the view opens up and you see Tamanawas Falls in the distance. This waterfall stands at 109 feet tall and tumbles over a beautiful basalt rock cliff. According to www.waterfallsnorthwest.com "​Tamanawas Falls was originally known as Giffords Falls, after photographer Benjamin A. Gifford, whose photos documented the falls in 1909 - whether he should be properly credited with discovery or first documentation of the falls is not known. The current name, derived from a Chinook word which means "friendly or guardian spirit" was officially adopted in 1971." 
​The trail ends at the rocky edge of the creek and the base of the waterfall. There are lots of places to view the falls from, but if you are here when there are a lot of other people around, please be courteous and don't stand in front of the waterfall for pictures for too long, as others want to get the shot as well and may not want other people in their photos. If you are here in the winter, please be careful, as the snow can cover the edge of where the creek is, so make sure not to get too close. Once you have enjoyed viewing and taking pictures of Tamanawas Falls and having a little snack break, you will head back the way you came.

Hike Oregon author at Tamanawas Falls
(Tamanawas Falls in July)
Tamanawas Falls is certainly a must-see here in Oregon during all four seasons. In the spring you will enjoy a full and raging creek and lush greenery. In the summer you can get closer to the bottom of the falls and the trail will not be muddy or slippery. In the autumn the trail is lined with bright yellow and red vine maples, and in the winter you will need either snowshoes or micro-spikes, but you can enjoy this trail in the snow and sometimes the falls freezes almost entirely! This trail is rated as 'moderate' because the trail tread is very rocky. Please wear sturdy shoes when hiking this trail, and if you are hiking with small children, keep a close eye on them especially in the big boulder section.
