Ballet Studio

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION:  Ballet Studio


Yale Laundry Building
800 SE 10th Avenue
Portland, Oregon


Our next location on the agenda was supposed to be the BALLET STUDIO, which is located right in Portland, but at this point it was close to dusk and we had a few more things to see. We decided to skip the ballet studio. But here are some pictures and info I found for those that want to visit! 

**I do not own or take credit for the pictures on this particular post.**











 Does anyone know for sure if the interior was filmed here too?? Look at the windows and the ceiling. They look different to me...





Baseball Field

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION:  Baseball Field


Private Property
Highway 14
Washougal, Washington


Next up we decided to set out in search of the BASEBALL CLEARING!! Not many people are able to visit because it is on private property and it is hard to find. I had found the approximate location by doing some internet research and I found out it was directly across the river from Multnomah Falls. After using google earth it was pretty easy to find the field. But it was a little harder to find how to get to it! But eventually we did find the field! *NOTE: I'm not going to list the exact address of the location to protect the private property.





















Bridge of the Gods - Opening Scene

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION:  Opening scene when Bella is riding in the police cruiser with Charlie on the way to Forks.


Bridge of the Gods
Cascade Locks, Oregon
Connects Hwy 14 in Washington to Columbia River Hwy in Oregon


We then stopped in Cascade Locks and the BRIDGE OF THE GODS. The bridge crosses over the Columbia River and connects Columbia River Hwy in Oregon to Hwy 14 in Washinton. Beautiful area! Please do research on the Cascade Locks area because there is so much to see and do and its so beautiful. Unfortunately we didn't get to see as much as we would have like to. So just check it out! We stopped right at the bottom of the Bridge of the Gods, which is the bridge that Charlie and Bella drive over in the police cruiser on their way to Forks. We then went over the bridge which had $1 toll fee and it took us from Oregon to the state of Washington!

Multnomah Falls ~ Baseball Scene

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION: Background of Baseball Scene, Deleted Scenes, DVD Extras

Multnomah Falls
50000 E. Historic Columbia River Highway
Corbett, OR


Next up was the MULTNOMAH FALLS. The falls are only briefly seen in the movie when Bella and Edward are walking to the baseball field. And also you can see the falls in the background while they are playing baseball and when the nomad vampires come. I think there are more scenes that were deleted and in the extras on the DVD. And you've probably seen pictures of Bella & Edward talking in front of the falls.Very beautiful area! May not be a very big part of the movie but everyone needs to stop here to see the beauty!








 




The View Point Inn ~ Prom Scene

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION: Prom Scene

The View Point Inn
40301 East Lurch Mountain Road
Corbett, OR


Next up, The View Point Inn is the location of the PROM SCENE! As most of us know the View Point Inn caught fire in the summer of 2011. It has sat ruined and empty since. Not only is the building in bad shape but the property itself hadn't been mowed or maintained at all. It is all overgrown, the fountain is torn out, and a lot of the Twilight bricks from the pathway have been removed/stolen. However, I have been hearing that the Inn is now being renovated to its original state and hopefully will be finished by Spring 2014. So that is great!  The view of the Columbia River from the property is spectacular also!
















I Know What You Are Scene

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION: I Know What You Are / Say It Outloud Scene

Oxbow Regional Park
3010 SE Oxbow Parkway
Gresham, Oregon

Fee:  $5 donation


On to OXBOW REGIONAL PARK, the scene where Bella tells Edward "I know what you are." We drove on a beautiful windy road until we got to the entrance of the park. There is a station at the front to pay a $5 donation. The park is beautiful so if you have some time definitely set out on the trails and enjoy some of Oregon's beauty!! The exact scene location was difficult for us to find at first. If you are able to find a park ranger, they should be able to point you in the right direction to the scene location. The filming area is located between trailheads D and E. If you get to a large gravel parking area you have gone too far. Right next to the location is a little pull off area and on the opposite side of that is the filming site right near the road.













Diner Scenes

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION: Diner Scenes with Charlie

Carver Cafe
16471 S.E. Highway 224
Damascus, OR

 The CARVER CAFE is the location of the diner scenes with Bella and Charlie. Also Stephenie Meyer made her cameo here.  The diner has the same exact curtains as in the movie. They also have a few Twilight memorabilia around the cafe. They have a book for Twilighters to sign and also postcards to buy. They had good food and the staff was friendly.
