}}Jonsrud Viewpoint is a viewpoint located in the city of Sandy in the U.S. state of Oregon. The viewpoint offers telescopes and expansive views of Mount Hood and the Sandy River Valley,[2] as well as the "Devil's Backbone," a ridge named by pioneers who were traveling on the Barlow Trail.[3] The site has been considered one of the "best views in Oregon."[4]

History

The viewpoint was named after Phil Jonsrud, a local historian in the city of Sandy.[5] Jonsrud, born in Kelso, was a war veteran who also spent time in New York City, though lived the majority of his life in Sandy. The offramp at the viewpoint was paved by the Jonsrud family.[5]
