The Gift of Sunrise at Timberline Lodge

Sunrise at Timberline Lodge, Mount Jefferson (10,495 feet) in the distance

We spent my birthday at Timberline Lodge on the shoulders of Oregon’s Mount Hood. We had first visited 12 years earlier for my 30th birthday and it was a treat to return. On the first day of my 42nd year, I was gifted with this beautiful sunrise.

Situated at 6,000 feet, standing at Timberline Lodge makes you feel as if you could just walk up to the top of Mount Hood.
