There’s nothing like sitting by the fire after a day out on the slopes! This Travel Tuesday, HI Now host Kanoe Gibson is escaping the Oregon cold and exploring the historic Timberline Lodge — hot chocolate in hand.
Built in 1937, Timberline Lodge has always been a grand refuge for visitors wanting to experience the magnificent and expansive high-alpine environment of Mt. Hood. A night enjoyed in the comfort and warmth of the lodge is like stepping back into simpler times, yet with all the modern conveniences discreetly available.
There’s no shortage of fun at the lodge. Tell tales of ski glory over drinks at the Ram’s Head Bar, enjoy a fireside hot cocoa next to the towering stone hearth, or go for a high-altitude dip in the heated outdoor pool and hot tub! Timberline is also the only ski area in North America open year-round for summer and winter activities. The family-friendly ski resort features seven lifts, a 3,000 ft. vertical drop, and 1,400 skiable acres. Not an expert when it comes to hitting the slopes? Timberline offers world class training when it comes to skiing and snowboarding.
The lodge also prides itself on offering exciting, fresh cuisine made with locally-sourced ingredients along with an award-winning wine program.

You can also book your stay at Timberline’s Silcox Hut, the ultimate bed and breakfast at 7,000 feet. It’s open all year for overnight stays for groups of 12 to 24 people. Packages at the historic Silcox Hut include dinner, transportation between Timberline Lodge and the hut, and breakfast.
Constructed in 1937, Timberline Lodge stands on the south slope of Mt. Hood at an elevation of 6,000 feet. This beautiful 55,000 square foot structure rises out of a pristine alpine landscape and is still being used for its original intent: a magnificent ski lodge and mountain retreat for everyone to enjoy. Legendary and awe-inspiring, it’s a tribute to the rugged spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977, Timberline Lodge is one of Oregon’s most popular tourist attractions, drawing nearly two million visitors every year.
