There's a reason Stanley Kubrick chose to open his classic 1980 horror film The Shining with a sweeping shot of Mt. Hood and Timberline Lodge. The dense, dark woods--full of evergreens and punctuated by the craggy peak of Oregon's tallest Mountain, with the view from beneath the medieval vaulted beams of Timberline Lodge--are decidedly ominous. A trip to Hood feels like retreating, or stopping time altogether, and choosing to live inside the slow drip of mountain hours--where time is marked by moments and the sweet scent of pine is sure to follow you home."
