Cloud Cap Inn

The Crag Rats occupy and maintain historic Cloud Cap Inn, located at 6,000 feet on the north side of Mt Hood, under a special use permit from the US forest Service. For more than 100 years, Cloud Cap has withstood fierce winter storms, forest fires and changing economic fortunes. For more than 50 years, the Crag Rats have carefully maintained and improved Cloud Cap, using it as a base for snow surveys, training, and rescue missions, as well as regular group meetings and outings.
