PENDLETON â As outdoor enthusiasts prepare to head to the mountains this Memorial Day weekend, Umatilla National Forest officials are cautioning that some roads, trails and campgrounds remain closed or impassable due to late-season snowfall.
A press release from the Umatilla National Forest reported some shaded areas and cutbanks on mountain roads still may have dense snow drifts that vehicles cannot pass, and most trails for hiking and cars have yet to be maintained. And some roads damaged during flooding events in February and May 2020 remain closed.
Officials now are working to prepare campsites and recreational areas at lower elevations for holiday weekend visitors, the press release said.
