Show Notes
Oregons top federal recreation spots, including Crater Lake and Mount Hood, face funding cutoff by years end due to the expiration of a key federal program. Senators Jeff Merkley and Tim Sheehy propose a bill to extend the program through 2031. These roads, vital for tourism and industry, are straining local budgets. The Historic Columbia River Highway project, a car-free trail, needs final funding to complete. Supporters hope the bipartisan bill gains traction to keep these gateways open and safe.
