My stay at Timberline Lodge was a memorable experience with breathtaking views and historical charm. The lodge itself is beautifully crafted with stunning architecture, and the dining was exceptional. However, the lack of air conditioning in the bunk room made it a bit warmer than I’d prefer, and while it was quiet and peaceful at night, the price for food was quite high, which is expected given the remote location.
