3 About the Mt Hood National Forest: Located twenty miles east of the city of Portland, Oregon, the 1.1 million acre Mt. Hood National Forest is framed by the strikingly beautiful Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to the north, the metropolitan area to the west, the Willamette National Forest and Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation to the south, and the sweeping dry lands of central Oregon to the east. One of the State of Oregon s iconic landmarks, the 11,240-foot peak of Mount Hood stands sentinel in the middle of the Forest. Straddling both sides of the Cascade Mountain Range, the Forest comprises and serves two distinctly unique areas. The west-side of the Forest is in close proximity to the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area, with nearly 50 percent of the Forest s perimeter characterized as urban interface. The interface experiences intense levels of recreational use; complex communication challenges due to socio-economic and cultural diversity of the area s citizens; and a high degree of interest from members of the urban public and media. By contrast, the communities on the east-side of the Forest are more rural in nature, with a unique sense of relationship to place and a larger dependence upon the natural resource assets, such as water to supply nearby orchards, farms, and ranches for irrigation and domestic uses. East-side or west-side, the Forest draws visitors from around the Pacific Northwest and the Nation. Nearly 4.5 million people per year come to view the wildlife and wildflowers, camp, hike, boat the lakes, play in the streams, ski, mountain bike, hunt, fish, climb Mount Hood, and participate in a range of recreational activities in and around the Forest. Some popular destinations on the forest include Timberline Lodge, built in 1937 high on Mt. Hood, Lost Lake, Trillium Lake, Timothy Lake, Rock Creek Reservoir and portions of the Old Oregon Trail, including Barlow Road. Stewardship of the Mt. Hood National Forest and its natural and cultural resources presents a unique set of management challenges, as well as many opportunities to interact with the public in meaningful ways. 3 P a g e
