Rainbow - Mount Hood National Forest, Central Cascade Range, Oregon
|
| | If you adore the outdoors, you won’t be let down; there's whitewater paddling, swimming, hiking, and fishing, so getting bored is not something that is likely to happen. Not far from Rainbow you get some great water scenery at Firwood Veneer Corporation Dam, and paddling on Bull Run is so much fun. There are good locations to explore along the Fanton Plaza Trail, and drift down the rapids of Sandy River in a kayak. All the water falling down from the sky makes Rainbow a wet place; December is the wettest month with most rain; the driest month is July. |
