Most at people know the lodge as the hotel from the movie The Shining. The winding mountain road, the foreboding stone facade and complex roofline- all the aerial shots of the fictional Overlook Hotel Are, in fact Timberline Lodge. And yes, as I hiked up in the late morning, popping up over an incline, the initial view of that roofline made my heart skip. "That's where all those crazy spirits are! That's where Jack Torrence lost his mind!"
in the midst of the Mt Hood Wilderness, the PCT passes the Timberline Lodge, which is a welcome stop for food and rest and resupply. Most at people know the lodge as the hotel from the movie The Shining. The winding mountain road, the foreboding stone facade and complex roofline- all the aerial shots of the fictional Overlook Hotel Are, in fact Timberline Lodge. And yes, as I hiked up in the late morning, popping up over an incline, the initial view of that roofline made my heart skip. "That's where all those crazy spirits are! That's where Jack Torrence lost his mind!" Inside, it's nothing like the movie (the inside scenes were filmed in a different- and not nearly as nice- hotel) This place is spectacular! All stonework and exposed beams, gigantic fireplaces and wrought iron light fixtures. it was very warm this day. I opted to spend the afternoon at the lodge, enjoying the lunch buffet, charging electronics, and resting until the heat of the day dissipated a bit Peace, love, and trail Magic!
