Nature's Canvas: The (HDR) Sequel

Jonsrud Viewpoint, named after T. G. Jonsrud and family who settled right across the street of the viewpoint in the late 19th century and whose descendants generously donated it to the City of Sandy, lies on the Mt. Hood Scenic Byway and offers a spectacular view of the Devil's Backbone of the Oregon Historic Trail, the Sandy River below the bluffs, and Mt Hood. A gorgeous place to start an autumn day!
