A trip Jon made for work to USA - which included a visit to Timberline Lodge in Mount Hood area, Oregon
(Does this remind you of 'The Shining' film with Jack Nicholson?  Filmed here.... Here's Johnny!)

Climbing Mt Hood - starting at Timberline which has an elevation of about 6000ft

Looking back from the snowline - at about 7500ft.
