Timberline Lodge is situated on the south slope of Mount Hood at an altitude of 6,000 feet above sea level, this rustic hotel within the Mount Hood National Forest is widely regarded as the finest example of 1930s Works Progress Administration “mountain architecture.” Broad sloping roofs above stone and timber walls were designed to harmonize with the mountain and its ridges—and to withstand heavy alpine winds and deep snows. The interiors are beautifully appointed, with carvings capturing the spirit of Indian cultures of the Northwest, and hand-crafted furnishings paying tribute to the pioneer heritage. The lodge still serves the purpose for which it was designed and built.

Timberline Lodge is one of the most visited Tourist locations in the State of Oregon and boasts the longest skiing season in the United States, and is open year round for skiing, snowboarding, hiking and mountain climbing.
