Mount Hood Chapter, PCTA Caretaker Meeting Minutes June 13, 2018, 6:45 Location: Clackamas REI Welcome • Absent: Terry (family), Dana (out of town), Michael Hoch (family), Noelle, Ron (LA). • Welcome: Max Martin, Susan McDonnell Past Events Crews and events since last caretaker meeting: 1. May 10: GTRT – Wahclella Falls Tread Work and Herman Creek Root Wad Removal: Frank and Terry Report: Segment 1: Did tread work and rock removal on approximately 0.4 miles of the Wahclella Falls Trail. Completed reconstruction of the trail at the site of a landslide just north of where the loop section of the trail begins. Also reconstructed the trail at the site of a landslide just north of the second bridge across Tanner Creek. Also removed rocks from other portions of the trail, did some brushing, and rebenched the trail where needed. Segment 2: For the second half of the day we moved to the Herman Creek Trail where we used rigging to remove a very large root wad from the trail and then rebenched where the root wad had been. Made two attempts to remove a second root wad from the trail but were defeated both times due to embedded roots. When this root wad is finally removed, it appears it may take a good portion of the surrounding trail with it. 2. May 10: Let's Celebrate! Frank Fever Report: Celebration of Frank’s amazing work. It was at Thunder Island and they gave out prizes. There were lots of people, there was a cake with his face on it, and it was really fun.

Ramona Falls Hike, Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon, OR
www.outdoorproject.com MADE BY: Anzelina Coodey CONTRIBUTOR: Tyson Gillard LAST UPDATED: 08.10.16 © The Outdoor Project LLC NOTE: Content specified is from time of PDF creation. Please check website for up-to-date information or for changes. Maps are illustrative in nature and should be used for reference only. Ramona Falls Hike, Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon, OR Adventure Description by Tyson Gillard | 06.12.12 The 120-foot Ramona Falls is tucked away on the western flanks of Mount Hood, and while the cascade is a remarkable destination by itself, the trail leading to the falls is equally delightful. You'll begin hiking along the open and sandy bed that flanks the Sandy River. The granular nature of the soil means that the river bed is home to a distinct blend of flora not typically found in the Mount Hood area, such as the many lodgepole pines, Oregon beaked moss, juniper haircap moss and broom moss. Once you've reached Ramona Falls, loop back on the trail’s northern section, where you'll gain a great appreciation for Ramona Creek. The trail follows the creek and adjacent cliffs downstream as it weaves through a forest of western hemlock, noble fir and western red cedar. If you are in the mood for something a little more challenging or you are looking for some good backpacking, continue on the Ramona Falls trail to Bald Mountain/McNeil Point, the scenic and secluded Yocum Ridge, or to the incredible wildflower haven of Paradise Park. Tyson Gillard | 06.12.12 Getting there (from Portland): From Portland, take I-84 E Take exit 16 for 238th Dr toward Wood Village Turn right onto NE 238th Dr Highlights Continue on NE 238th Dr, which turns into SE 242nd Dr/NE Hogan Dr DIFFICULTY: Moderate After roughly 3 miles turn left onto NE Burnside Rd/US-26 E TRAILHEAD ELEV.: 2,460 ft (750 m) After roughly 27 miles, just past Welches, turn left onto E NET ELEV.

July to October Most Difficult Trail Highlights: This trail enters the Mount Hood Wilderness Area. The Timberline Trail is a classic Pacific Northwest trail circumnavigating Mount Hood with alpine vistas, waterfalls, alpine meadows and west side Cascade forest. It was constructed primarily by Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s and encircles Mount Hood at or near treeline. The segment of trail between Timberline Lodge and Yocum Ridge overlaps the Pacific Crest Trail #2000. Trail Description: This trail can be accessed from many different points. The trail climbs in and out of glacial fed drainages throughout its length. Most hikers find the fast moving river fords to be the most challenging part of the trail. Newton, Coe, Muddy Fork, Sandy and White Rivers are typically the most challenging fords but are typically not more than knee deep. Regulations & Leave No Trace Information: Wilderness Permits are required between May 15 and Oct 15. Group size is limited to 12. Stock are counted in the group size. For example, 3 people riding their own horse plus a spare horse in the group for packing would make a group of 7. Campfires are prohibited in these areas: Within 500 feet of Ramona Falls and McNeil Point Within the tree covered island in Elk Cove and Elk Meadows Within Paradise Park Camping is prohibited in the following locations: Within any meadow Within the tree covered islands of Elk Cove and Elk Meadows Within 500 feet of Ramona Falls Leave No Trace Plan Ahead and Prepare: Prepare for extreme weather, hazards and emergencies.

Upper Sandy River Area Flood Erotion Study
CLACKAMAS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Policy Session Worksheet Presentation Date: May 19, 2015 Approx Start Time: 1:30 PM Approx Length: 60 min Presentation Title: Upper Sandy River Area Flood Erosion Study Department: Emergency Management, County Administration, Transportation & Development, WES, Parks, PGA Presenters: Laurel Butman, County Administration & Jay Wilson, Emergency Management Other Invitees: Laurel Butman, County Administration, Rick Gruen, County Parks & Natural Resources; Ellen Rogalin, PGA; Matt House, WES; Mike McCallister, Jennifer Hughes, Rebecca Ceniga & Steve Hanschka, Transportation & Development; Nate Boderman, County Counsel WHAT ACTION ARE YOU REQUESTING FROM THE BOARD? No specific decision is needed, this is a briefing on findings and policy implications. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The upper Sandy River has recurrent flood events characterized by significant bank erosion and channel migration. Since the January 16, 2011 flood event, an ongoing internal Sandy River Sustainable Flood Recovery Team has worked to maintain community outreach and support future efforts for expanded floodplain management in the area. Between January 2014 and the present, a consultant – Natural Systems Design – conducted an Upper Sandy River Flood Erosion Hazard Mitigation Study. This study focused on a 10 mile stretch of the Upper Sandy River includes one of the most developed segments of the entire river valley. Sharing the findings of that study will comprise the bulk of this Policy Session. In the broadest sense, the study revealed that the Sandy is a “young” and impetuous river that is still seeking to find its best channel. Channel migration is one of the most serious hazards associated with the Sandy and the Channel Migration and Channel Migration Management Zones mapped by the consultants clearly show many dwellings lie in harm’s way even if they are outside the officially mapped flood zone.

Mt. Hood Scott's Apatanian Caddisfly Completion
Mt. Hood Scott’s Apatanian Caddisfly Completion Study Final Report Prepared for USDA Forest Service – Region 6 and DOI Bureau of Land Management Interagency Special Status/Sensitive Species Program (ISSSSP) Coordinator By Greg Wanner USDA Forest Service, Mt. Hood National Forest – Zigzag Ranger District, Zigzag, Oregon 97049 Photo Credit: G. Wanner, 2016; Scott’s apatanian larval case collected at the headwaters of Camp Creek, Mt. Hood National Forest January 2018 Introduction Considerable development related to road building, trail construction, and vegetation clearing associated with ski area operations, timber thinning, and wildfire suppression activities have occurred adjacent to and upslope of the headwater tributaries of Mt. Hood, Oregon. These activities have increased fine sediment inputs to stream channels from the highly erodible volcanic soils (Crandell 1980) and resulted in negative impacts to streams. Anthropogenic increases in sediment to streams is one of the most important causes of lotic system degradation (USEPA 1990). Fine sediment inputs from human activities and natural disturbances may eventually cause sufficient habitat alteration to adversely impact caddisfly populations (Lemly 1982; Waters 1995) that are present in streams around Mt. Hood. Scott’s apatanian caddisfly Allomyia scotti, is a rare species and is endemic only to Mt. Hood, Oregon (Wiggins 1973; Wanner 2016). This caddisfly species is a glacial relict, surviving the latest glaciation period (Wisseman 2010). The distributions of this species was relatively unknown (Wisseman 2010) until 2013 and 2014 larval caddisfly surveys were conducted around Mt. Hood in perennial 1st through 3rd order clear water (non-glacial) steams (Wanner and Arendt 2015). Those larval surveys covered over 62 streams each year with a total of 485 samples sites.
