Friends of Tilly Jane Cabins

Inspiring the next generation of outdoor caretakers.

2025High up on Mt. Hood, a team of local volunteers are putting their hearts and hands to work keeping remote, historic spaces open, safe, and inclusive. To outdoor enthusiasts willing to make the climb, the north side of Mt. Hood is a special place. No lifts, no lights, no signal. A perfect place to get outside and connect with people offline. It is a place with history – where you ‘earn your turns,’ look out for one another, and the surrounding landscape.

The Friends of Tilly Jane Cabins (FoTJC) story has roots in the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) dating back to 1939 as they constructed trails, picnic areas, shelters, campgrounds, and provided work for people during The Great Depression. The FoTJC upholds this civic-minded passion for working with others to preserve and promote outdoor recreation.

Today, their vision is to be a model of historic preservation by inspiring the next generation of stewards.
