ive heard that there are some pretty dope campgrounds to be found along the highway, not on the portland side but continuing in the other direction. wish i could tell you more.
there are only about 1000 campgrounds on rt 26 from portland on the way there, idk about lift tickets, Sandy has a little food market i think and yeaaaa
That's definitly not a typo, Timberline is like $50 during the summer. I just went there last weekend and i think the sign at the ticket booth said something like 40-50.
There are lots of "camp spots" off of old logging roads and random places. Around Gov. Camp and Welches there are lots of places too. Cool people might let you crash with them too. And if you don't have any money but have the stamina you can always hike up to the pipe and just sesh that for a day.
they are indeed ticket whores at timberline, if your ticket is accidentally hidden under your coat or something they get all gay so watch out sneaking on
go live on the ski run to the left of mile looking up the hill.. thers a good shanty already up.. so it would not be that bad of a hike in.. but do it,... everybody come up its just starting to get fucking crazy
