Mount Hood National Forest to reopen most trailheads Friday

摘要

Oregon's tallest mountain will reopen for recreation over two months after trailheads and day-use areas were closed amid the coronavirus pandemic. Most developed recreation sites will reopen Friday, according to Mount Hood National Forest officials. Some sites will remain closed, including most campgrounds and areas that are still under seasonal closures, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. Some facilities will not be maintained daily, including vault toilets, forest officials said. "We are looking forward to reopening many previously closed areas on the forest, while prioritizing the health and safety of the public and employees," Richard Periman, Mount Hood National Forest supervisor, said in a news release. "We're asking the public to be prepared, be respectful of others, and recreate responsibly."
