Today was another beautiful day on Mt. Hood and especially in Rhododendron. A short drive took me to the Still Creek bridge near the Mt. Hood National Forest's Road 20 and Road 12. This particular location is fantastic for viewing salmon heading up Still Creek to spawn. I caught a few on camera.

 

For another great place to learn about salmon and fish in the river, stop at  the 600 acre Wildwood Park. The BLM park is located just a little  East of Mt. Hood RV Village along Highway 26 near Brightwood on the South side of the Highway. Not only are there picnic areas, shelters, softball fields and play areas and equipment for kids you can take the Wetlands Trail to Cascade Steam Watch. This paved 3/4 mile trail teaches you about the Salmon River and takes you to an interpretive center with  fish viewing below the stream level.
