Funny you should mention that, the Timberlake Lodge in Mount Hood, OR is where the exterior shots of The Shining was filmed. We visited it in October when we went to OR.


The interior was actually a film studio in England.

Stephen King got the idea for the movie when he stayed at the Stanley Hotel


in Estes Park, CO. The made for t.v. version of The Shining was actually filmed at the Stanley.

More info then you wanted, right? I'm the Cliff Clavin of The Shining trivia! ;-)

I've been to Estes Park and seen the Stanley. Pretty cool.

Mr. Stanley built the hotel and used to transport guests there in his "Stanley Steamer" automobiles, which worked in the cold much better than contemporary gasoline or electric cars.
