If you are looking to do a hike with spectacular views of Mt. Hood, we recommend the Tilly Jane Trail. The trailhead is about 40 minutes from downtown Hood River. But if you are looking for other hiking options in the area, please feel free to reach to us! We have *tons* of recommendations.
To cool off and watch some exciting water sports or even try your hand at kiteboarding, make your way down to the Hood River Event Site! There is an area where you can swim in the Columbia River, as well. For gear rentals, we recommend Big Winds in downtown Hood River.
