Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon (aka, The Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick's movie "The Shining," 1980)
The Timberline Lodge served as the exterior of the Overlook Hotel in Kubrick's movie, which is based on a novel by Stephen King. Unfortunately, the hedge maze in the movie doesn't exist. It's entirely fictional. The interior of the Overlook Hotel is fictional as well, shot on a London soundstage.
Timberline Lodge is on the south side of Mount Hood, about 60 miles (97 km) east of Portland. The National Historic Landmark sits at an elevation of 5,960 feet (1,817 m), where it is snowy and chilly enough for year-round skiing, the longest ski season in North America. Constructed from 1936 to 1938 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Timberline Lodge was built and furnished by local artisans during the Great Depression, and dedicated September 28, 1937, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
