We've come to respect the solid knowledge of Falcon's authors and the clarity of descriptions and sketch maps (in which we'd like some more detail). This guide to the trails and routes around Hood shows elevation profiles. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Excellent, detailed descriptions of the trails on Mount Hood and Badger Creek, complete with little maps, scales of difficulty, and recommendations for parking even. Haven't actually hiked any of them yet so I can't speak to how useful they are, but I feel pretty confident in the author.
