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.
You're also steps away from the lifts and other snowy activities.
Choose from a variety of world-class ski resorts, including Mt. Hood Meadows, Timberline, Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, Copper Spur Family Ski Area, and Snow Bunny.
Explore the snowy landscape by booking one of the cool Snowshoe Tours offered at Mt. Hood Meadows or another area resort.
Options let you see frozen waterfalls, snow-covered meadows, and ride the chairlift up and snowshoe down.
Lugging all the winter sports gear can be a pain, but it's worth it once you're on the lift!
Try a snowmobile tour at Mt. Hood Skibowl or sign up for the resort's epic tubing runs.
If relaxing is your goal, get cozy by a roaring fire with a good book.
But don't forget to venture outside, a winter wonderland awaits that everyone in the family, including your pup, will enjoy!
