The only movie that I could recall having a filming location in the MHNF was "The Shining" at Timberline Lodge.

I found a couple more:

 

Old Joy (Bagby): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468526/

Mean Creek (just says Clackamas River): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377091/

Twilight (but that was further downstream)

What a difference a few weeks makes! Eric and I hiked Cripple Creek trail this past Saturday (Jan. 22) and were able to get all the way up to the end of the trail on the 4635-140 spur. We then crossed the road and continued on the Cache Meadow trail for just a couple hundred yards, out to the first trailside meadow. Very, very wet in there this time of year with all the recent warm temperatures! We were able to hike all the way up to about 1/2 mile from the end of Cripple Creek trail before we hit snow that was deep enough to warrant snowshoes. The trail was in good shape overall and will undoubtedly receive more use this year if the 4635 remains closed due to the massive slide.

Wow.  I didn't know 4635 had a huge landslide on it.  When did that happen?  Any pictures?

It happened sometime early in the week this past week. It closed the 4635 about 1/8 mile up from the start of the road. The slide continued all the way down to the 4631 and took out that road somewhere between the 4635 junction and Lake Harriet. I checked out the slide where it took out the 4635 but didn't drive down the 4631. I will see if I can post a couple pictures I took with my cell phone.
