Sahale Falls in the Mt Hood National Forest can be viewed from the Old Highway 35 bridge or can be part of a 3.4 mile loop that includes Umbrella Falls
The picturesque arch bridge dates back to the construction of the original Mount Hood Scenic Byway in the 1930s, much of which was destroyed when US 26 was built. The bridge, now closed to auto traffic is one of the last vestiges left where one can take in the sights once popularized by the road.
PSA: We recommend tackling this adventure in summer or fall due to winter conditions. This is a beautiful snowshoe trek from Hood Meadows.

We’re your home base for exploring and enjoying the Hood River Valley and beyond. After a full day, you’ll love the peace and tranquility of the Old Parkdale Inn. Relax in the gardens, perhaps with your favorite beverage, by the bonfire, roast some s’mores, weather permitting of course.
