Mt. Hood Fires Lock Down Forest | Portland News

Mt. Hood National Forest is on high alert as the Austin Fire rages over 8,700 acres with zero containment—forcing massive closures that shut down trails, Bagby Hot Springs, Ripplebrook Camp Store, and even sections of Highway 224. With crews battling flames and hand crews clearing trees, public entry is strictly banned to protect lives and give firefighters space. Meanwhile, the Narrows Fire burns uncontained too, and illegal campfires continue to strain resources despite July restrictions. Stay out—your safety and theirs depend on it.
