Medford, Oregon- The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is advising travelers to avoid mountain passes through the weekend due to dangerous weather conditions. The High Cascades section near Diamond Lake and Crater Lake is particularly affected, including OR 230 north of Union Creek and OR 138 between Diamond Lake Junction (OR 230) and U.S. 97.
