Directions from Sandy: Travel east on Highway 26 to Highway 35. Follow 35 northeast to the access road for the Mount Hood Meadows Ski Area (about 15 miles past Government Camp). The trailhead is located 0.2 miles below the gated entrance to the ski area and is marked with a sign.
While not too challenging, and some stellar views... my friends and I went the second weekend in June and found that the snowpack was still deep enough that we couldn't find the trail after about 2 miles and had to turn around without seeing the falls.

Easy trail, even in the rainy season.
Uphill the whole way but it's with it!! I went counter clockwise and had to stop quite a few times. The falls and the surrounding forest are beautiful !
Going clockwise is definitely the way to go. Less intense uphill. Great 5 mile hike.

Nice trail. 2 hours and 5 miles round trip at moderate pace. Head clockwise from the upper trailhead to avoid the more intense uphill.
Rather crowded trail. Steep narrow upper part of the loop crossed several downhill skiing runs. The other half of the loop was much nicer. Sahale falls rather unremarkable.
Easy hike with a waterfall and great views of the summit of Mt. Hood.
It was fantastic! Great variety the falls is beautiful
