Portion Of Red Hill Road To Be Closed

The Mt. Hood National Forest announced that a portion of the 16 Road, sometimes referred to as “Red Hill Road” on the Hood River Ranger District will be closed on or around November 5 for approximately 4 weeks due to timber harvest operations taking place in the area.  Forest visitors wishing to use Forest Service Road 16 should anticipate the closure restricting travel access during the week and some weekends.  The 16 Road is narrow and large equipment will be in or alongside the roadway making it necessary to close this section of the road for public and operator safety.  The point closure is located about 7 miles from Red Hill Bridge and about 8 miles from the 18 Road junction coming from the other side.  The 16 Road will remain open on both sides of the closure point.  From Hood River, visitors to the Vista Ridge Trail should turn onto the 13 Road, which connects to Lolo Pass Road in Dee.  Access to the Vista Ridge area through Parkdale will not be available during the road closure.
