Timberline Lodge is a mountain lodge at 6,000 ft (1,800 m) on the south side of Mount Hood in Oregon, USA, about 60 miles (95 km) east of Portland, Oregon.
It was constructed between 1936 and 1938 as a Works Progress Administration project during the Great Depression. Talented workers used huge timbers and local stone, and placed intricately carved decorative elements throughout the building.
The nearby ski area, also known as Timberline Lodge, is known for having the longest skiing season in the US, and is open for skiiers and snowboarders every month of the year. Activities include skiing, snowboarding, walking, hiking and climbing.
The 1980 movie The Shining, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, used Timberline Lodge for its exterior shots. There is no hedge maze at the lodge as depicted in the film.
