Hiking
Lace Up for Adventure

Sitting amidst the Mt Hood National Forest, Timberline Lodge is a breathtaking starting point for hiking trails around the mountain. With hiking trails that begin right outside the lodge doors and dozens of scenic Oregon hikes within a short drive, there is a trail for hikers of all skill levels.

Timberline Trails

Views Made Easy

Timberline Lodge has easy-going hiking trails accessible around the lodge for our overnight guests and day visitors to enjoy throughout the summer (weather permitting). For a slightly more challenging hike, you can walk a mile up Mt Hood and enjoy the views from Silcox Hut and the Palmer chair lift. Due to snow melt, summer hiking at the Lodge's elevation typically becomes accessible around mid-July.
