Twilight Was Filmed At Stone Cliff Inn

It's also worth noting, the famous Twilight movie was filmed in this area. Filmed in May of 2008, the first of many filming locations in the Portland area for the movie was at the Stone Cliff Inn. There was rain when filming began, but they were able to get short dry spells to shoot many scenes. The production crew brought in extra lighting to reach into the forest. The large basalt boulders and rooted pathways that were used for the filming were nestled between the old growth trees at the foot of the cliffs.
