Rainbow Family of Living Light

The Rainbow Family of Living Light will be gathering in Skookum Meadow, in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, for its 2011 gathering.

The group, a loose counterculture network that recalls the 1960s peace movement, hosts the event to socialize and pray for peace. It's been hosting similar gatherings on U.S. national forests since 1972. Thousands of people will be traveling through Woodland on their way up the Lewis River Road to the gathering.
