Mt. Bachelor and Timberline, Oregon-THE VOLCANOES
OF OREGON-This article describes the unique skiing which exists
in the Cascade range of Oregon, where a weak line in the Earth’s
crust has produced a long string of volcanoes all along the west
coast of North and South America. Among these volcanoes are some
on which there are ski resorts. Timberline, Oregon is a resort
on Mt. Hood, a live volcano and the most climbed glaciated peak
in North America. Another interesting feature here is the historic
Timberline Lodge, a beautiful traditional hotel built in the 1930s
and used in Stanley Kubrick’s film, “The Shining”.
Timberline is also one of only two locations for summer skiing
in North America. Not far away is Mt. Bachelor, another live volcano,
where one can ski a full 360 degrees around the cone shaped peak.
