Recreation officials are urging people to plan ahead, but be flexible, when going out to use recently opened day-use sites in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Scenic Area Public Affairs Officer Rachel Pawlitz says the website ReadySetGorge.com can show visitors what is open before driving out, adding people also should pick alternate locations to recreate if they should arrive at their original destination and find it to be crowded. Recreation sites may open or close with little advance notice, and people are asked to respect any closures posted when you arrive.
