Day hikes off the beaten path
Deep within America's national parks lie pristine, protected spots called wilderness areas — and most of us are only a day trip away from one of them.

Everyone needs wilderness area. Some where they can get wild or just somewhere they can get in tune with their self.

Tamanawas Falls Loop....not that crowded!
Directions:
From Hood River
From HWY 84 take exit 64 to the junction of HWYs 30 and 35 (the China Gorge restaurant is a great landmark at this intersection). Take HWY 35 south. The turn off for Tamanawas Falls is on your right, about 1.5 miles south of Polallie Creek campground. If you reach the Sherwood campground you have gone too far.

The title of this article implies that it will be recommending some day hikes. I'm sorry, but briefly mentioning a section of the most well-known trail on the West Coast, the Pacific Crest Trail, is not even remotely a recommendation for an "off the beaten path" day hike. Readers would be well advised to prepare to meet hordes of Portland-area weekend warriors pretty much anywhere in the Mt Hood Nat'l Forest.
