August Oregon Hang

I will be there Friday, but I don't know about this Forest pass. Is this to park at the trailhead?

I read it was required, and can't comment on that. There is usually a fee $5 or so to park at an improved trail head, you can buy a northwest forrest pass for $30 and it is good for a year, and you don't have to pay at each place. I dont know if there are some that are pass only, maybe someone with more knowledge will clear it up. I just buy the pass unless there is no way you will do the fee type trail heads at least 6 times a year, I know I do that the first month I buy it every year. You also get a sticker for a motorcycle free you just have to ask for it.

I am in Washington and they have a pass system here but does not work in at all the trails and I do not know if it works in Oregon. So many different rules for each pass....
Shacking head.... LOL

NW Forest pass work in most places in Oregon/Washington except some state parks I believe. I have been to many in both states.

Gas willing *Fingers Crossed* I will be there very late Saturday night 11-12ish. If someone can spot me a hanging spot earlier in the day and share their bear bag late at night with me they can have a bit of the adult refreshment I am bringing with me. I really don't want to be bumbling around in the middle of the night looking for a spot. I was also thinking about hitting up a trail in the area and staying Sunday night. If anyone wants to join me they are more than welcome. I was thinking about 6-8 miles of hiking Sunday in and 6-8 miles out Monday depending on location.
