Cloud Cap Inn tours beginning June 21
Parkdale — The Mt. 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.

River Ranger District Infor-
mation Desk at (541) 352-6002.

A May 27 article on the
Hood River Library gave in-
correct information. On May
31 the library was to submit
its entry into a Macmillan
Publishers’ contest to bring
author Nick Bruel to Hood
River. Also, the library ex-
Washougal High School, lo-
cated at 1201 39th St., was
evacuated and then searched
by staff and Washougal police
officers. No bomb was found,
so students were released
back to class just after 11 a.m.
According to the Washou-
gal Police Department, the ju-
venile male suspect was
booked into the Clark County
Juvenile Detention Center on
charges of threats to bomb or
injure property, a Class B
felony.
According to police, there is
no indication that an actual
bomb existed.
