Current Conditions
Due to a landslide in 2021, Forest Road 1861, is closed to vehicle traffic from Hwy 101. The landslide washed out a section of the road approximately half a mile from Highway 101, creating impassable conditions. Tillamook County emergency response is limited in the Cascade Head area. There is a seasonal area closure from January 1 to July 15 to protect sensitive nesting habitat. The exception is The Rainforest Trail, which remains open to hiking use year-round. This seasonal closure does not apply to lands managed by The Nature Conservancy.
