We flew into Portland and decided to spend a day making this trip. Beautiful scener. Make sure you stop by the orchard stores and pick up some jelly/jam/syrup. You can make a full day by making the loop and driving back to Portland.

The Timberline Lodge is another place recommended by Lonely Planet to enjoy the...

The trip to the Mt. Hood National Forest was very interisting... I love to go to the National Parks and get my Passport Book cancellation stamps .... I'm on a treasure hunt and it is so much fun.
