Few who visit today know the rich history behind Timberline Lodge and that it was a symbol of hope and purpose to an entire nation. Few also know that it was nearly derelict by the 1950s, nor do they know the story of Richard L. Kohnstamm , "the man who saved Timberline." And, while people continue to fall in love with Timberline Lodge, few know just how rich and interesting this collective love story is.

This exciting new edition of Timberline Lodge: A Love Story is an updated version of the regional best seller originally published in 1987. As editor for the new edition, Timberline’s Director of Public Affairs, Jon Tullis brought together new writers , local photographers, professional book designer Jami Spittler, and Portland book project advisor Dick Owsiany.

The collaboration resulted in a compelling book with an appealing and contemporary style. The new edition presents a dazzling collection of never before published photographs of the mountain and its historic lodge.

Features:

• A beloved National Historic Landmark, Timberline Lodge welcomes two million visitors a year.
• 400 artists and craftsmen took part in the construction.
