OREGON WILD WEDNESDAY

Portland Mountain Rescue—Lives Saved and Lessons Learned On The Slopes of Mount Hood

The Army National Guard and U.S. Forest Service have them on speed dial.

They risk their lives to save others.

They brave some of the harshest alpine conditions in the Lower 48.

And they do it all for free.

They are Portland Mountain Rescue, one of the nation’s most experienced and well-known alpine rescue teams in the country.

Come out to the Lucky Lab Brew Pub in SE Portland to hear how PMR plans and executes their missions. Listen to stories of past successes and lessons learned from difficult missions. Mt. Hood is the iconic symbol of Wilderness in Oregon and PMR team members know the mountain better than anyone.

Oregon Wild will also present a slideshow on our efforts to expand wilderness areas around Mt. Hood. The Lewis and Clark Wilderness Proposal is currently making its way through Congress and the demand for pristine winter recreation spots like White River is only growing. Come discover the unspoiled areas around Mt. Hood and how you can help protect them.

And you can enjoy all this with a beer on your table and some grub in your belly!
