Mt. Hood Scenic Byway
Jonsrud Viewpoint, OR

This bluff provides a spectacular vantage point for viewing the portion of the Sandy River and Devil's Backbone the Oregon Trail pioneers crossed on their route over Mt. Hood along the historic Barlow Road. Interpretive signs share accounts of the early pioneers who settled in the area around Sandy and point out the Sandy River valley and Devil's Backbone. Clear sightlines to Mt. Hood, the valley floor, farmlands and surrounding natural scenic areas are an added bonus.
