Snow Bunny

In 1952, George W. Jackson led about 150 volunteers from East Side Commercial Club to convert the garage to a snow lodge intended as a safe place for children away from congested and dangerous ski areas.

The lodge opened February 1, 1953, with meals, a children's playroom, and warming rooms on weekends during snow months.

[2] Snow Bunny's elevation of 3,816 feet (1,163 m)[8] makes it a popular trailhead for cross country skiers (nordic skiing), snowshoers and snowmobilers.

[9] The facility is operated by the company that runs the Summit Ski Area (Northwest Nordic) located 2 miles west on U.S. Route 26.

[10] It is located along the Mount Hood Scenic Byway, about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Government Camp on U.S. Route 26, near the junction with the Trillium Lake road (NFS 2656) and East Leg Road which connects to Timberline Highway, near the junction with Oregon Route 35.
