Grab your skis and get ready to conquer a mountain with a little help from the Timberline Lodge. The lodge is located on the south side of Mount Hood and provides the nation's longest skiing season. Along with skiing, Timberline's recreation area hosts snowboarding, hiking, and climbing. Fun fact: aerial shots of the lodge were used as part of the opening scenes of Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining.
Plan a little romantic getaway with your significant other and spend a night or two at The Lion and The Rose Victorian Bed & Breakfast Inn. This cozy bed and breakfast is settled nicely inside a Queen Anne mansion, circa 1906, boasting an historic atmosphere with classic furnishings and modern amenities.
