Historic Hood River
Front Door to Cloud Cap Inn

Notes
After a year of drought, it would be nice to get some good deep snow this winter. Looks like we’re off to a good start.
This image is from the Crag Rats collection. It’s not dated, but I suspect it is from the 1970s.

Do we have any idea who the photographer was?

Looks like there has been a bit of wind?

photographer could be David Falconer or Bill Bryan
Charlott
I figured it might be Bill Bryan, as know he took a lot of photos up there.

This one was just a snapshot with a handwritten label "Front door Cloud Cap" so I don’t think it was taken by Bill Bryan or Dave Falconer. The Crag Rats collection does include many of their photographs which I will try to tag appropriately. I always try to include the photographer when they are credited on the image.
For those who don’t know, David Falconer was chief photographer for the Oregonian for many years. I don’t know if he was a Crag Rat but he hung out with them often and took many wonderful photos on Mt. Hood.

Yes Dave Falconer was a Crag Rat. Passed away here not too long ago.
