Up on Mt. Hood the Sandy Glacier boasts the largest glacier ice cave system in the lower 48 states. Lots of recent attention has been brought to this discovery.

The two systems of caves are called Snow Dragon and Pure Imagination.

Crazy Week, Crazy Weather
Monday, November 17, 2014
Mt. Hood area residents have had more than a few days of big winds, freezing temps and snow! Lets start with the big winds that knocked out power to many mountain residents, at least a 1,000 in total, with huge gusts taking down big healthy trees and doing a lot of damage throughout the area including the forest service!
Freezing temps that brought the chill of winter early put vacation home owners in a panic in getting their pipes drained down and ready for the extended cold snap!
Then a bit of snow and ice showed up to top it off. Welches has about six inches on the ground and side roads are still fairly treacherous with ice pack. School was canceled for the second time for the Welches primary and middle schools due to road conditions.
Daytime warming should take care of some of the ice today.

Heading back to our normal fall weather will be a great relief for many. This snow opened Mt. Hood Meadows this weekend and of course, Timberline, with the Palmer ski lift, is really rocking for skiers already!

Thursday, October 16, 2014
The Freshwater Trust is a non-profit group that has been working with the National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management to restore fish habitat in the Sandy River Basin. The Salmon River and Still Creek, both tributaries to the Sandy River, once were teaming with Salmon and Steelhead but current numbers are 20% to 40% of what they once were.
