Stunning 360 views of the Cascades. You might recognize the lodge exterior from Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining". The lodge also offers delicious food and drinks. Check out Government Camp on your way up for a beverage or try out the toboggan ride at Ski Bowl.
One of Stephanie's favorite lakes with a killer view of Mt. Hood. You can hike to it or drive right up to the park.
Have a whole day to spare? Venture across the Columbia River into Washington for a more adventurous day rafting on the White Salmon River! You need to book ahead well in advance. Pro tip: get some food and drinks in Hood River on the way back to your hotel.
Hood River is a great day trip for some good food and craft drinks. They also have a boogie Goodwill with designer items, if you're into that. If you are feeling adventurous, book a kiteboarding or wing foiling lesson ahead of time.
A popular PNW attraction! We recommend going early in the morning.
