There's  a new and very popular event up at Timberline Lodge near Government Camp this winter for people who don't ski or snowboard. That event is offered by the Forest Service and it's a walk with Bruno, the Saint Bernard that is the mascot for Timberline Lodge! These walks are on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at Timberline. It's a stroll through the outdoors with an informative guide teaching history and ecology plus Bruno. Details may be found in this article from the Oregonian. Special tours can be arranged also.
