We're on the way to Mt. Hood and Timberline Lodge.
Our driver/guide Jared stops and we savor our first close look at the mountain ...

See the ski lift rising only part way to the peak, a mile above us.
Our room at Timberline Lodge is splendid.

45 miles away, in front of the Lodge: Mt. Jefferson

We enjoy a fire before bed
