Wow. It is already August… where has the summer gone? This month, we have made two slight changes to our Interpretive schedule. Due to the popularity of the Salmon River hike, we have added a second hike on Fridays at 2:00 p.m in addition to continuing the Thursday 10:00 a.m. hike. To compensate for the additional hike, we have removed the Friday Barlow hike from our August schedule. However, the Barlow hike will still continue on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. at Skibowl as usual!

Star Party
This Saturday evening (August 6th) at 8:00 p.m., the US Forest Service and RLK and Company will host a free “star party” outside Historic Timberline Lodge. Professors of astronomy Doug McCarty and Todd Duncan, along with a number of knowledgable amateur astronomers, will provide telescopes for the public’s viewing pleasure and be available to answer questions. We will meet in the Barlow room inside the Lodge at 8 for a brief overview of what will be seen in the sky, and then head out to the parking lot and look at some stars, planets, and galaxies!
Note: Timberline is located at an elevation of 6,000 feet. Temperatures drop at night, so be sure to bring warm clothes with you! Coffee, hot chocolate, beer, and light snacks will be available for purchase.
