Timberline Lodge

Reviewed By 942haroldm - Gresham, United States

We had a return visit to this amazing lodge. We stayed in a queen room. We ate at the Ram’s Head Bar and the Cascade Dining room for breakfast. The food and service were very good. We spent time in the outdoor hot tub and pool. It was very relaxing. We also spent time by the wood burning fireplace on the second floor. The inside of the lodge is beautiful. It’s only open to hotel guests at this time.

Oregon City Municipal Elevator

The Oregon City Municipal Elevator has been in operation for over 100 years. The original elevator was constructed in 1915. It was powered by hydrolics and took about three minutes to reach the top of the bluff. In 1925 it was converted to electric power that was being generated by the water flowing from the Willamette river. The current elevator was completed in May of 1955. It was included on the National Register of Historic places in May of 2014. The elevator is owned by Oregon City and staffed by the Downtown Oregon City Association. Current hours are Monday-Saturday 7am-7pm and Sunday 10am-7pm.

This is a cool place to visit. Lots of history here. Also you can park either at the top or the bottom, and explore the historic upper part or the historic downtown part at the bottom. It doesn't cost money. Definitely look up the pictures and history online before you visit!

Philip Foster Farm

Philip Foster's Farm was a welcome sight to travelers on the Barlow Road, finally reaching civilization after 6 months on the Oregon Trail. Today it connects visitors to that era and the many families whose lives were changed by emigration to Oregon, through original and reproduction buildings and hands-on activities for all ages.
