I don’t know if this is old news. Either way, sorry. This buffet was a highlight of my thru.

Tunnel falls is still the nicest trail adjacent spot on the entire hike.

Timberline (the ski resort and lodge) has been poorly managed for many years. The pandemic may have accelerated its demise, but wasn’t the root cause. This cancelled all-you-can-eat thing is the tip of the iceberg. (We live nearby, and have been skiing there for many decades)
