Tilly Jane Campground/Day Use

## Overview

Tilly Jane Guard Station is an ideal getaway for individuals and families who
enjoy the great outdoors in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It is one of the
oldest structures on Mt. Hood and provides shelter for warmth and an escape
from the elements while participating in a variety of activities, specifically
winter-related recreation. During the winter months it serves as a winter
retreat for visitors hardy enough to access the cabin from the Tilly Jane Sno-
Park. The Guard Station can usually only be accessed by skis or snowshoes, as
the Cloud Cap road is closed from late October until early July.  
  
Guests can access the cabin following a 9-mile, gently sloping road, or via
the historic Tilly Jane Ski Trail, which is roughly 2.7 miles with an
elevation gain of 1,900 feet. Skis with skins or snowshoes are highly
recommended and travelers should be prepared for extreme weather conditions.
The TJ Ski Trail is poorly marked due to the 2008 Gnarl Ridge Fire so be on
notice. Guests should be experienced in backcountry travel and survival
skills. Guests must also bring several of their own amenities.

## Recreation

Visitors to the Guard Station enjoy a variety of recreational activities,
including hiking, snowshoeing and backcountry skiing, which can be done most
of the year due to high levels of snowfall in the area. Many trails exist in
the area, prompting exploration. Most trails are not marked so visitors should
be familiar with the area. Above the tree line, visitors can catch a glimpse
of Mt. Adams, St Helens, Mt. Rainier and the Hood River Valley flanked by the
dry high desert of eastern Oregon.

## Facilities

The cabin accommodates up to 8 people. It includes a full kitchen (no running
water) and a second story sleeping loft with 8 sleeping pads. It has propane
lighting and a cooking stove/oven, as well as all cooking pots and utensils. A
variety of seating is available, as well as a table and chairs. A fireplace
and woodstove with firewood are also provided. An on-site pit toilet is
located within the wood room of the cabin. Water is obtained by melting snow
or by digging an access hole to Tilly Jane Creek. We recommend all water be
treated.  
  
Guests will need to bring their own bedding, clothing, food, and garbage bags.
A variety of house rules exist, including proper closure of the cabin, which
involves shutting off the gas, reinstalling the shutters and locking the cabin
up. The cabin will need to be cleaned prior to leaving, dishes washed and
everything in its place. Guests will also need to replenish a supply of wood
and kindling for the next group. All food and garbage must be removed from the
cabin.

## Natural Features

The Guard Station is located high on the northeast side of Mt. Hood at an
elevation of 5,700 feet. It was built in 1934 and initially received seasonal
use for back country access and fire protection. The cabin is one of five
structures in the area built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps
and is part of the Cloud Cap/Tilly Jane Historic District. The facility is
operated and maintained by the volunteer organization, Oregon Nordic Club,
under a permit from the U.S. Forest Service.
