Monday, May 16, 2016
by Liz Warren

A small swarm of earthquakes beginning on Sunday has shaken the ground on the Southeast side of Mt. Hood. Although this is not as a result of a movement of magma, like the St. Helens quakes, it does represent some unknown fault lines which swarm every couple of years. Typically these quakes range in the 2.5 area and lower. Here's the latest news story on the subject at KGW in Portland

by Liz Warren

Still Creek meanders through the Mt. Hood National Forest and is one of the most popular waterways in our area. Not too far up Road 12A you’ll find this odd looking contraption in the water which is called a rotary fish trap.

This trap funnels the smolt, young steelhead and salmon, who are heading back to the ocean, info a holding tank. The tank is checked every day by Forest Service personnel who collect data, measure, weigh and count species of each fish. Once collected the fish are let go to finish their journey. 

The fish trap will only be here till the end of June during the spring migration.

Fat Bike Festival Features FREE Demos

Friday February 12 at Mt. Hood Meadows

MT. HOOD, OR (Immediate Release) – Fat bikes are all the rage and in a state like Oregon they should be! These modified mountain bikes sport tires that are twice as wide to provide traction on otherwise unrideable surfaces - like SNOW! They also make beach riding not only possible but fun.

Bike enthusiasts are looking at adding a fat bike to their arsenal, but recreational bike riders should consider making the fat bike their ride of choice. They’re versatile and a lot of fun!

Avid biker and Meadows Director of Mountain Operations Tom Scully says Fat Bikes make a great family activity. "They are easy to ride and the increased traction allows all abilities to enjoy dirt, snow, sand, mud and pavement. They are not at all limiting for a family that wants to ride in all kinds of different places and conditions. We'll have a single track course and a great place to try out Fat Bikes at our demo. We encourage the entire family to come up and enjoy it."

Meadows will provide the opportunity to try it Friday, February 12 with free Fat Bike demos provided by Mountain View Cycles of Hood River. With a riding area set up in Yellow Meadow (conveniently located near the North Lodge) and with a course to take some laps on a Fat Bike. You can also bring your own Fat Bike to ride on the snow course.

Preregistration is recommended (though not required) to assure a chance to demo a Fat Bike for free. There is no charge and you can preregister at www.SkiHood.com/FatBike signed waivers are required so parents must accompany those under 18.

Meadows will make a party of it, thanks to sponsors, Mountain View Cycles, Trek Bikes, Craft Cycling Apparel and Hammer Nutrition showing off product and sampling. Experts will be on hand to talk about Fat Bikes and there will be some fun competitions as well. The event is scheduled from 11 AM - 3 PM Friday, February 12 (weather permitting).
