Briefly about
the general area:
Stay the night at Mount Hood Village. Life's too short to enjoy all the cool things in the Central Cascade Range. Glide down the rapids of Little Sandy River in a kayak; why not take a look at nearby West Branch Falls Creek since you're here at Big Bend Trail.
Paddling on Sandy River is so much fun, and Township Meadow is a wonderful spot. Don't forget to take a pleasant little spree to Falls Creek. There's so much to do here at Big Bend Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Windell's Snowboard Camp is a great place for that.
