Price the Mt. Hood Express before renting a car for Timberline

Open tip ↗

Clackamas County lists the Express between Sandy and Timberline via Government Camp at $2 one way, with exact fare paid on board. Two rides cost $4; the $5 day pass also covers Sandy Area Metro routes and may suit a connecting trip. The Express does not run on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day. Check the current outbound and last return departures before booking, arrive at least five minutes early, and allow for weather delays. The Villages Shuttle ends at Rhododendron, so it is not the same mountain route.
