is famous for the slopes found around the
state, and if you are planning a vacation, you
should definitely consider Timberline Lodge, located
near Mt. Hood in . There is quite a bit of
history in the area, starting with the lodge that was
built during the Great Depression by a master
craftsman. The Timberline Lodge also has a bit of
more recent history attached to it. Part of the movie,
The Shining, was filmed here. Many of the ‘outside’
shots were done at Timberline Lodge.

One of the most unique things about Timberline is
that it is the one place in the United States that offers
year-round snow ing. Palmer Snowfield is part of
the Timberline Resort, and it is permanently covered
with snow. Beginners are not always allowed on
Palmer snowfield – the conditions are considered
each day when making this determination.

If the idea of a ‘rustic’ vacation appeals to you,
as opposed to trips with accommodations that are a
bit fancier, then Timberline Lodge in is the
place to be! Again, it is definitely all about the history
and the powder here. However, whether you or not,
you must not miss the Magic Mile, which offers a
panoramic view of the Cascade mountains that cannot
be matched!
