We were here in Winter, not much snow, but the higher we went up the more slippery and snowy it got. Dont go up without a 4x4 and experience driving in mountains. The lodge is old and rustic, but... more »

Beautiful drove there & back. Mount Hood had minimal snow on it here in mid-September, but it was still lovely on a pleasantly warm day. Walking through the historic Timberline Lodge was a real treat. So many little things to stop and look at in there. We even caught glimpse of a resident, attentive Saint Bernard dog following around his favorite handler of the day. Nice!

The staff here were super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They made everything very streamlined, and they all seemed to love working here! The trails were very well marked and all of their signage and directions were easy to follow and super useful no matter your riding level. We tried the Gravy Train Trail which was the ‘beginner trail’ and it offered a great starting course and even as beginner/ moderate riders we were pleasantly challenged yet found ourselves speeding through it after a few runs and then moved onto The Rock and other blue level trails which were a blast as well and definitely a step up. We went to other nearby riding lodges on this trip to OR and not one beat the experience at Timberline Lodge! We will be back again!
