Hood River County has closed all of its forest trails to motorized use until further notice. The east wind event that is underway led to the decision. It is expected to bring dry conditions with low humidity…poor overnight humidity recovery…and strong winds…exacerbating already existing conditions where fires can establish and grow quickly. No campfires are allowed on Hood River County forestlands…and state law requires passenger vehicles to carry a shovel and a gallon of water to be fire safe in the woods.
