Summer Trail Highlights
- Access is slowly expanding as the snow line recedes, but deep snow persists in the high country. Depending on aspect and proximity to the crest, most trails above 5000 ft have at least some snow. Overall, Forest visitors should expect a late melt out. See inside for more details.
- Except for Dutchman, there are no Sno-Parks on the Forest that have adequate snow coverage for recreation. The removal of temporary signs in the Dutchman-Moon Mountain area is complete. Trail navigation can be difficult without these markers. It is the visitor’s responsibility to know where they are.
- Over the holiday weekend, expect high use and crowds at all developed recreation sites. On the snowy sections of Cascade Lakes Highway, there is VERY little parking and access off the main highway. Be realistic in your plans – the transition from winter to summer is not instantaneous.
- Be aware of the possibility of prescribed burning in areas west of Bend that may result in temporary trail closures. Check the DNF website for latest Alerts.
- Got a trail report to share? Relevant information includes things like snow and access, number of downed trees, and overall condition of trail. Send emails to joseph.welke@usda.gov
