Great Outdoor Areas to Enjoy 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I am living in Sandy, Oregon home and I love this community. Known as the “Gateway to Mount Hood,” this area is absolutely beautiful. This community is located between Mt. Hood and Multnomah Falls, so if you enjoy the outdoors and taking in nature, then this is a great place ...Read More for you to visit or even reside in. These outdoor areas are the best areas in Sandy, Oregon.

Even though the area is small and quaint, we have had a local bus transit service since 2000. This is called the Sandy Area Metro. The Mount Hood Express also offers access to citizens of Sandy, Oregon and the resorts located in Mt. Hood.

This place provides everything that you need. There are numerous stores and restaurants here to meet your shopping and dining needs. If you enjoy donuts, then you definitely need to stop by Joe’s Donuts and grab a delicious donut or yummy cup of coffee. Any time spend here in Sandy, Oregon is sure to be an enjoyable, relaxing time. Read Less
