The Falls have been popular with travelers since the 1880s when steamboats excursions and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company brought visitors to enjoy the natural landscape. At the base of the falls lays historic Multnomah Falls Lodge. Built in 1925 the lodge provides fine northwest cuisine with a panoramic view from your table. http://www.multnomahfallslodge.com/ Stonehenge This replica of the prehistoric Stonehenge at Salisbury Plain, England it was built as a memorial to WWI soldiers.

Timberline Lodge In 1936, in the midst of the Great Depression, President Roosevelt's WPA program authorized funding for a mountainside lodge to be built on Mount Hood. A lodge that would be painstakingly handmade by a batallion of skilled craftsmen and artisans. A lodge that would reign like no other the mountain--or world-had ever seen. Timberline Lodge today is a masterpiece among mountain lodges. Now a National Historic Landmark, Timberline stands as a tribute to the rugged spirit of the Pacific NW. Inside, you'll find everything from accommodations and gourmet meals to public areas and complete conference facilities. Timberline is located on Highway 26, 60 miles east of Portland. The ski area at Timberline is open year round, the longest ski season in North America . In winter, the Palmer Express quad whisks skiers and boarders to the 8540-foot level of Mount Hood ’s south face, opening up 3590 vertical feet of terrain.
