The White River East Sno-Park event center is located next to Highway 35 at the southern base of Mt Hood. The event courses are in an area carved out by massive snow melts each year, so much of the environment is composed of many similar drainage ditches in an environment of scattered trees. We will have seven point-to-point courses (something for all skill levels) to choose from. If you camp overnight, you can spend the previous day hiking around White River West, which has many interesting areas to explore.

Regular orienteering meet with White through Red courses. For more information about the course colors, see our Event Types page.
