Jefferson Park reopens, permit loopholes and whether to visit Waldo Lake

Explore Oregon: Making the most of the outdoors

In this shorter episode, Zach talks about the reopening of Jefferson Park, perhaps the most beautiful alpine destination in Oregon, and how to get there in the wildfire-burned landscape. Then he gets into the "extra-effort permit loophole" that should help you reach beautiful places in Jefferson, Sisters and Washington wilderness areas. Finally, they travel to Waldo Lake to talk about whether it makes sense to visit Oregon's famously clear lake with a large wildfire burning nearby.
