Things To Do
Columbia River Gorge
Hood River is nestled in the Columbia River Gorge, America's largest National Scenic Area, named so for good reason. The Columbia River Gorge is a world-class landscape where the Columbia River carves a dramatic canyon between the states of Oregon and Washington. So much natural wonder is packed into such a small space that even a short trip to "the gorge" is long enough to be humbled by its beauty. It is known for breathtaking scenery, hiking, incredible farm-fresh dining options, craft beer, and a variety of wines. If you're the outdoorsy type, there's no shortage of options for adventure, and if you're the indoorsy type, it's the perfect place to relax with a craft beer or visit one of the many wineries for a relaxing day of wine tasting in the sun.
