Closures

Spring is in the air!  As the 2020 hiking/SOTA season approaches, I wanted to share information about what is open and what isn't under Governor Inslee's order.   Despite closures of many state, local, and private properties, there are still many SOTA possibilities that are legal under Inslee's order.  That doesn't mean activating is a good idea!  I leave that to you to decide for yourself.  I hope to shed light on what is and isn't accessible, and provide some guidance on permissible activations under the rules of SOTA.

Dear Oregon,

During these difficult times, we fully understand the desire to seek solace in the outdoors and the value of physical exertion to shed stress. However, in the interest of public health, we respectfully urge you to resist the desire and to comply with stay-at-home orders, and get exercise/outside in your neighborhood.

As members of the outdoor recreation community, we have a simple request to everyone: #stayhome #stayhealthy.
