Since the weather was sunny, the stay at Sunriver to ski Bachelor in early May also included a day trip to Mt. Hood. There are actually three separate ski areas on Mt. Hood. Mt. Hood Meadows has the most terrain, with more than 4000 acres including the hike-to terrain. Timberline Lodge has over 1500 acres, but the unique feature is that the Palmer lift on the Palmer Glacier is only open during the summer months. Meadows and Timberline are on different sides of Mt. Hood. The Mt. Hood Skibowl is on the flanks of the mountain, topping out around 5000 ft, and is the closest to Portland.
We went to ski at Mt Hood Meadows and drove over to visit the historic Timberline Lodge before heading back towards Bend. The woman at Bachelor who sold us lift tickets said that Timberline Lodge was worth the time. Glad we listened to her.
Mt Hood in the distance driving north on US26, summit is 11,235 ft
Mt Hood Meadows main lodge is actually at mid-mountain. Only South Lodge open late season.
Timberline Lodge, built as a WPA project 1936-38, fully restored
