Timberline Lodge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

If you are a fan of old horror movies, the Timberline Lodge might remember you on one particular movie. This is the filming location of the Stephen King classic "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson. They also have the axe from the movie with "Here's Johnny" written all over and you can take a selfie with it.

The lodge is also popular for its fantastic breakfast and lunch buffet. You have to make a reservation online to attend the buffet which is 25 Dollars per person. Trust me, its worth it!

If you are a PCT-Thruhiker, I recommend to send a resupply box here, since resupply options are very limited at the Lodge and it is quite difficult to hitchhike into town and back. Packages are held for hikers for a 10 Dollars fee. Note that ONLY FedEx and UPS deliver here! No USPS anymore.

Timberline Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This part of the trail offers an easy trek over a relatively sandy, soil-like surface beneath the ski lifts lining the mountain's southern slope. As you hike, you'll pass by evergreen trees maintaining their deep emerald color and beautiful wildflowers dotting the ground. Due to its proximity to the lodge, you can expect to encounter many day hikers traveling to and from Ramona Falls along this route.

Timberline Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This fantastic trail forms a nearly 40-mile loop around Mount Hood and is a combination of sand, dirt, and often a rocky pathway featuring incredible mountain views, alpine meadows, and beautiful waterfalls. Due to its popularity, the route is well-marked and easy to follow. The first few miles feature a steep descent, allowing for a relatively easy start. As you continue, you'll encounter various elevation changes and several large river crossings, where trekking poles are advisable to help you navigate. The terrain is diverse, primarily consisting of dusty, steep, and rocky sections. However, the vistas are spectacular, and conquering some challenging climbs makes it well worth the effort.
