| Discussion | Timberline Lodge Commentary
A classic heavy-timber mountain lodge, high on the slopes of Mount Hood, Oregon's tallest peak. Well maintained and restored, it continues in operation as the overnight lodge of the Timberline ski area, a Mt. Hood National Forest Ski Area, with year-round sking at an elevation of 6000 feet. In winter, the ground floor of the lodge is typically fully buried in snow, with entry through a snow tunnel, or directly into the second floor. A recent addition to the lodge was designed by Fletcher Farr Ayotte Architects of Portland, Oregon. Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. Address Government Camp, OR 97028 | ||||
