If you’re looking for the perfect winter travel destination, make your way to Mount Hood. This gorgeous mountain offers fun, snowy activities, spectacular scenery, cozy accommodations, great food, and more.

Downhill skiers, snowboarders, and other adrenaline-seeking winter sports fans already know that Mount Hood offers some of the best snowy terrain in the state. But there’s tons of other great stuff to do even if you (or someone in your group) isn’t keen to ski or ride. There’s the slower pace of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or winter hiking to consider. You can also enjoy outdoor hot tubbing or swimming. If you want a bit more adventure, try sledding or tubing. There’s so much to discover!

Stay at historic Timberline Lodge. You'll enjoy cozy rooms, fabulous food, plenty of amenities like a pool, sauna, hot tub, and games like ping pong.
