| USFS may limit wilderness access |
Outdoor enthusiasts are loving portions of Sisters Country to death. The U.S. Forest Service is proposing a program to limit access to wilderness areas in order to preserve the wilderness experience in the face of tremendous growth in use.
Under the proposal, visitors to the Mount Jefferson, Mount Washington, Three Sisters, Waldo Lake and Diamond Peak wilderness areas would need to get a permit in advance. Such programs are common in California to limit crowds and the environmental damage that comes with them.

| Sheep Springs Fire burning in Metolius Basin - Tuesday, June 27, 1 p.m. | The Sheep Springs Fire is burning less than a mile northeast of Sheep Springs Campground and roughly a half-mile west of Forest Road 12 in the Metolius Basin.
The blaze is burning in an area previously burned by the B & B Fire in 2003, in an area predominantly covered in standing dead trees. Due to the extremely hazardous nature of the incident's location, firefighters will use indirect strategies to contain the fire, primarily from roads. This will minimize the need for firefighters to engage directly with in the fire in unsafe conditions.
Today, crews will be reinforcing containment lines and preparing the area for burnout operations. Firefighters are looking to complete burnout operations Wednesday or Thursday.
