Mt Hood - get up there!


For those of you heading to the area, you might want to consider a trek up the mountain. This is one of our favorite pastime no matter what time of year it is! The drive is beautiful and the mountain is an unforgettable experience. Here are some highlights.


Timberline Lodge we love going up here for an afternoon and enjoying the combination of Oregon history and nature. From the lodge you can head out snowshoeing, x-country skiing, or down hill skiing or snowboarding. Or, just head up to the Ram's Head bar and have a beer.

Skiing, Snowshoeing, Snowboarding There are numerous places to rent all the gear that you could possibly need while you are out here. And the mountain has trails and ski parks galore! We would recommend stopping in "Gov-y" or Government Camp to pick up gears, maps and the required parking permit. Here's google results for rentals.

There should be great snow before and after the wedding!

There's nothing better than a nice long drive up to Mt.Hood, battling snow and then sitting by the fire with a hot chocolate. Yee haw!
