- 2Check current road conditions and snow levels before departing, especially for high-elevation Cascade campgrounds where access roads may not open until late May—call ranger districts for real-time updates.
- 3Pack layered clothing including waterproof shells, as spring weather in Oregon can shift from sunny mornings to afternoon rain showers, with nighttime temperatures dropping into the 30s at higher elevations.
