ClimbingPanther Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Now this is all just pure conjecture and wild guessing, but I suspect people will want to be prepared to wade anywhere there used to be bridges, probably even decently built ones! Except maybe the two behemoth steel bridges in MRNP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatwall Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Rt 35 in OR from Hood River to 26 has been hit with a major rockslide. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_110806_weather_highway_35_.1ae8805e.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 “Evidently, something gave loose by the glacier up there and it just kind of all came down at once” said ODOT’s Bob Sork. now that sounds interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Middle Fork Snoqualmie washed out at Burntboot Creek. Trailbed is completely gone. We couldn't even find where it resumed after looking for a while. Good news is that there is now a large cedar log that will allow easy crossing of the Burntboot Creek. A trail will have to be built to it though. Also on the Middlefork Trail there is a large tree down on boardwalk about a mile east of Dingford Creek. A log bridge has rotted out and collapsed on a tributary just west of Wildcat Creek. The Middlefork Road is washed out about a mile or so past the hairpin turn below Hell Hill. Another mile in the roadbed is covered in rocks washed down from above. That one will take quite a bit of work to clear. Other than those two, the road is pretty good.

letsroll Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Meadows must be freaking out right now. Closed off. Thank goodness it is early and they might be able to repair 35 before major snow fall. The pictures of that are amazing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Don't worry, Ivan. The Tilly Jane ski trail is not a difficult climb and they will get that road fixed fairly quick, I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrgo Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I might be wrong, as I'm a little confused about the exact location of the closure. But isn't HWY 35 closed from 26 for about 18 miles north? That puts it a long way from the road up toward Cloud Cap. I'm sure ODOT has a lot of pressure on them to get this fixed quickly but from what I've read, its going to be a big job. I hope it doesn't impact the ski season that much because I bought my first pass this year to meadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 guess that oughta wrap up fall attempts on hood north face, eh? damn - never really had a chance this year... Second-hand info here: but a pal who owns a cabin up near Cooper Spur told me yesterday that one can still access Cloud Cap via the turnoff down by Parkdale.
