The tickets are limited so get yours now! Call the museum: (503) 272-3301 for tickets and more
information.
The Glade Trail was originally constructed in 1937 as part of the Timberline Lodge complex. It
partially adopted the oldest ski trail on Mt. Hood, the Blossom Trail, predating commercial skiing. It’s
believed to have supported skiing as early as 1888.
The descent is a wide-cut, rolling trail. It has beautiful, open views and an easy gradient so it
makes for a great ski/snowboard run for anyone seeking a long, mellow, ride. The Glade Trail also
includes a respectable amount of vertical drop, 2,120 feet.
The Mt. Hood Museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of Mt. Hood
through interpretive exhibits and educational programming. It features six galleries highlighting the
history of the mountain's early exploration, winter sports, settlement, and natural history.
In the center of Government Camp, the Cultural Center, Museum, Mt. Hood Information
Center, and the Museum Gift Shop are open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Museum
is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
