• Enjoy the pioneering spirit of craftsmanship when dining at the Timberline Lodge's Cascade Dining Room. Its culinary program specializes in serving dishes made with fresh ingredients from the surrounding woodlands and the Pacific Ocean nearby. Few places in Oregon are better to taste the state's rich culinary heritage than the Timberline Lodge.

• Sip a refreshing hand-crafted beer. Located just six miles down the mountain in Government Camp, the Mt. Hood Brewing Company features microbrews made on-site and fresh, Oregon-inspired comfort food. Established in 1991, the brewery was founded upon the notion that beer is best produced in small, handcrafted batches utilizing the finest local ingredients and enjoyed locally.

• Taste delicious culinary choices at The Rendezvous Grill, near the golf courses in Welches, Mt. Hood Village, whose owners are "celebrating 24 years of serious food in a not so serious place."
