Talented workers used huge timbers and native stone as building materials, and placed intricately carved decorative elements throughout the building. It is located about 60 miles (95 km) east of Portland, Oregon, at 6,000 ft (1,800 m) on the south side of Mount Hood.
It is known for having the longest skiing season in North America, and is open for skiiers and snowboarders every month of the year.
Activities include skiing, snowboarding, walking, hiking and climbing.
The original movie titled The Shining based on the novel of that name by Stephen King was partly filmed at Timberline Lodge.
