The Barlow Trail Road at Mt. Hood

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
by Liz Warren

Our local area on Mt Hood is filled with history.  I travel on Barlow Trails Road a couple of times a week. As I drive along Barlow Trail,  I'm traveling the road that over 50,000 emigrants used to travel into Oregon. The Barlow Trail Road in the mid 1800's opened up the Willamette Valley for settlement. These early emigrants helped Oregon estabish a population which eventually led to acheiving statehood. Read about the history.

Barlow Trail winds through several of our communities from Government Camp, Rhododendron and Brightwood.

Here is a recent article in the Sandy Post or find out more about the Barlow Trail here.

TODAY!

 

Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum are coming up from California to kick off the Timberline Mountain Music Series. The concerts are free to the public and start at 3 p.m. in the amphitheater. The forecast looks good, but fyi we’re going to do this one rain or shine. It the weather doesn’t permit an outside show, we will be moving it into the main lobby.

 

Please encourage our guests to come out and enjoy the music, and chek it out yourselves after your shift. The concerts go till approx. 5 p.m.

Since forming a musical partnership in 1986 when Tom first joined Laurie's band, this acoustic duo has recorded 12 albums and has been nominated for a Grammy Award. They are widely regarded as leaders of the modern bluegrass sound. Guitar and mandolin player Tom Rozum also has a wonderful tenor voice. Laurie, a fine guitar player and a terrific fiddle player, is an award winning songwriter, and was twice named Female Vocalist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association.

Looking for a Hike on Mt. Hood?

Tuesday, June 23, 2009
by Liz Warren

Although we are closing in on almost the 4th of July, the current snow level is  3100 feet depending upon sun and other factors. If you are looking to take off on a hike in the Mt. Hood area, please stay on the lower trails and don't attempt to travel snow covered trails because they are easy to loose in these conditions!
