A textured oil painting of Mount Hood, showing the snow-covered peak with streaks of gold, tan, and blue. The mountain rises dramatically from the surrounding brown and green foothills under a blue sky. The brushstrokes are bold and angular, emphasizing the mountain’s structure and light.

The oil painting, The Mountain, by Charles Heaney hangs to the right of the Cascade Dining Room at the Main Lobby’s East Head House. While the lodge was under construction, Interior designer Margery Hoffman Smith took Heaney to visit the lodge during the summer so he could get a feel for the setting. Considered one of his most significant works, The Mountain, is the first of four oil paintings Heaney created for Timberline Lodge. Many critics applauded his decision to omit the mountain’s top in this particular piece.
