The Port of Cascade Locks has applied to the Mt. Hood National Forests for a special use permit to construct, operate and maintain an aerial tramway in the Columbia River Gorge. The tramway tower terminal would be located at the southwest corner of the city of Cascade Locks, Hood River County, State of Oregon. A horizontal distance of 6815 feet would be traversed in about a ten minute ride. The tramway would be of the double-reversing type with two passenger cars of about 50 passenger capacity. The port and city of Cascade Locks are proposing the project as a means of benefitting the economy of the Cascade Locks area. Tramway users would be transported to a presently inaccessible point of land which is now seldom visited by man due to its location and relationship to the surrounding terrain. Some species of wildlife would be displaced in the immediate vicinity of the upper terminal.
