I can't imagine any parent that wouldn't want to see timberline lodge. It's beautiful, near Portland/hood river (please convince him to go to hood river), and also was where the shining was filmed!

 

[jerm]

exactly. its weird historic site. you can get tickets to jut ride the chairlift up the mtn and ride it back down to site see. only like an hour and 15 outside of portland.

Its a historic lodge that was built during the great depression to give americans more jobs. started by the president at that time. I forget his name.

Franklin Roosevelt

Let's see it is one of the few places in the world you can ski in the summer? Your parents might want to experience that.

Watch your language young one. You now have worst grammar than half this site. GTFO

[danbrown]

[BmoChop]

[Karma_Police]

Wait don't you need to be 13 to be on this site?

I wish I could help, maybe next year.......

Tell your parents to check this out.-National Historic Landmark

-Accessible Via the Mt. Hood Scenic Byway

-Swimming Pool/ Hot Tub

- Built during the Great Depression for the WPA

This should get you at least half a day or riding. Enjoy the 200+ inch base

your parents can take a single ride to mid mountain. it's pretty sick up there, really great view on a clear day.

 

[skier_boy26]

A visit to Mt Hood is probably more profound than a visit to Portland. What does Portland even have worth seeing? OMSI? That postmodern piece of shit known as the Portland Building?

 

[danbrown]

i worked at timberline for a while. it's a super cool place. like people have mentioned, it's a historical landmark with some interesting history behind it. take the forest service guided tour, it's actually pretty sick. you can pay ten bucks for a lift ride to mid mountain and get out and walk around, great views. its only like 50 miles from portland, and it's a super easy drive. plus, you can go skiing in the summer. its absolutely worth the trip if youre going to be in the area. tell your parents to check out the website if they arent convinced.

good thing your a mod! saw you post this in spriggs thread

 

[SKIU4EA]

if only your karma could go into the negatives...

I thought the Shining was filmed at some hotel in Estes Park, CO?

 

[Dwarftosser1]

Oh wait that's just where the book took place, nevermind

 

[EmperorKuzco]

Isn't Timberline the place or near the place they filmed for The Shining? Use that

 

[danbrown]

the only part of the shining that was filmed at tline was the outside shot(s) of the lodge. theres no maze or anything and the inside of the fictitious hotel was filmed in england.

thanks for clearing it up
