Driving Directions

Drive east on Highway 26.

From the last traffic light on the east end of Sandy, it’s 28.5 miles on Highway 26 through Government Camp to make a left turn for Timberline Lodge.

The road winds up for 5.5 miles to the parking area below the lodge (When exiting drive downhill on the one-way section of the road from the southwest corner of the parking area).

• Timberline Lodge is a venerable Depression-era masterpiece on the south slope of Mount Hood. There is a maze of trails surrounding Timberline Lodge, all connecting to the Timberline Trail (no. 600), which is also the Pacific Crest Trail (no. 2000) along this portion.

• A sno-park permit is required to park in winter.
