Winter still weighs heavily near Mt. Hood, where many popular campgrounds will be closed this holiday weekend because of snow.
According to the Mt. Hood National Forest, the closed list includes Trillium Lake, Frog Lake, Clear Lake, Clackamas Lake, Little Crater Lake, and Still Creek. If you booked a site at one of these campgrounds, your reservations have been cancelled.
While Timothy Lake will be open, one of the roads into the campground is blocked by snow.
People might consider a change for their Memorial Day adventure due to the unusual amount of snow. Campgrounds in lower elevations such as those located along the Clackamas River east of Estacada will be open with services. Other campgrounds near Zigzag and on the lower east slopes of Mt. Hood are also open.
