A 6,000 acre preserve is part of the grounds. This is one of two Upper Multnomah Falls. Multnomah Falls proper is downstream at the Scenic Highway and is 620 feet. The Cascade Mountains Mount Hood from Bald Mountain Ridge, late Fall. Elevation range in this picture about 7,000 ft.
View looks east, and the developed ski slopes are on the right side out of view.
This high-elevation ski area features the spectacular Timberline Lodge, build as a WPA project in the 1930's. More daring cross-country skiers ski down from Timberline to the Summit Ski Area. Others take the gentler Westleg Road. In the summer foottrails can quickly take you to very nice wildflower areas and wideranging views. This ski area is far enough east to have dryer snow than some other areas.
