Hood National Forest Service will be hosting free interpretive tours of the historic Cloud Cap Inn starting June 21 through Labor Day on Sep- tember 7, weather and road conditions permitting. The Hood River Ranger District is inviting the public to tour the inn, discover its history, and enjoy the majesty of Mt. Hood. The forest service will be hosting the tours on Sundays throughout the summer. Tours will start at 11:00 a.m. and at 1:00 p.m. and last ap- proximately 45 minutes to one hour. The tours will be limited to 12 people per group. Reser- vation slots go quickly, so book your tour soon. The reservation system protects the inn and ensures visitors get a quality historical expe- rience. Please see reserva- tion contact infor mation below. Cloud Cap Inn stands on the northeastern flank of Mount Hood in the Hood River Ranger District of the Mt. Hood National Forest. The crescent-style log struc- ture was the first permanent resort lodge of its kind on the mountain. Cloud Cap Inn was built in 1889 to be an elite mountain retreat and is now a search and rescue base for the Hood River Crag Rats, the oldest search and rescue organiza- tion in the United States. The Hood River Crag Rats began caring for the structure in 1952 under a special use per- mit with the Mt. Hood Na- tional Forest. The Crag Rats and local forest workers have been restoring the aged structure over the last few decades and their work is nearly com- plete. Cloud Cap Inn is listed on the National Register of His- toric Places. The building has endured years of ex- treme winters and mountain storms, and has been one of the unique and truly excep- tional destinations of Mt. Hood for the last 100 years. Views from the inn are in- credible and access to the Mt. Hood Wilderness is just adja- cent to the lodge. The road to the lodge, which leads from Cooper Spur to the Cloud Cap Inn, was closed for several sum- mers until last year, due to concerns that trees killed by a 2008 forest fire would tum- ble down onto the road. This year, the road is open once again and tours will kick off on June 21.
