Starting at Timberline Lodge (6,000 feet), we followed the groomed runs up the mountain alongside the ski lifts. As we reached top of the ski lifts (8,500 feet), the sky began to glow with the light of the coming sun, first illuminating clouds and the top of Mt. Hood, then the landscape around us. Looking around we watched as the alpine glow lit up the other surrounding mountains, including Mt. Jefferson, Oregon’s second tallest mountain, to the immediate south.
