MISC. TRAIL INFORMATION

The trail information from the Forest Service is interesting this year due to extensive storm damage. Today, the FS reports that the Top Spur trail has been cleared of blow-down to Bald Mountain, but there is no report of conditions from there to McNeil Point.

Boulder Ridge trail is indicated as open, but no reports yet on condition of blow-downs.

Salmon Butte - road washout expected to be repaired in July, although trail can be accessed on foot - no reports on other conditions of trail.

Apparently the bridge to Ramona Falls is also out.

It is reported that the Mt. Hood Information Center near Brightwood at the RV Center will be closing in June. This location has been a mainstay as a hiking group meeting place, trail and weather information assistance, and as a rest stop for longer than we can remember. It will be sadly missed by all.

For those who don't yet have this website, trail information is supposed to be updated as changes occur: www.fs.fed.us/r6/mt.hood.
