Things To Do
Multnomah Falls
The falls will be on your way to Hood River, so we highly suggest adding in some time to stop by and see the #1 natural tourist attraction in the Pacific Northwest! If your travel plans have you coming in around lunchtime, you can plan to have lunch at the Lodge too!
Vista House at Crown Point
The Vista House was built in 1917 on one of the most beautiful scenic points on the Historic Columbia River Highway. It was constructed to provide travelers a place to rest and refresh themselves as they made their way down the magnificent Columbia River Gorge.
Timberline Lodge
If you are interested in getting up a mountain during your time here, this is a great place to go as it sits on the shoulder of one of the most iconic peaks, Mt. Hood! The lodge has a variety of bars, restaurants and other fun things to enjoy! Fun fact: The movie "The Shining" was filmed the outside of Timberline Lodge. If you have never seen the movie, watch it before you go!
Tamanawas Falls Trailhead
This trail is about 25 minutes south of Downtown Hood River (if you go, you might as well go all the way to Mt. Hood/Timberline Lodge too). We have gotten word from a few who have gone that it is a pretty easy hike with big waterfall payoff!
Wy'East Vineyards
We visited this adorable family run vineyard on the way back from Mt. Hood/Timberline Lodge! This is a great, relaxing, low-key option with a more one-on-one experience with the people who make the magic happen! (and they have llamas...nbd)
Mt. Hood Winery
We didn't get the chance to stop by this gem, but from what we hear, it is definitely worth it. This Winery will be on your way from Downtown Hood River to our wedding venue (Crag Rat Hut)!
Full Sail Brewing Company
Gabe's face says it all - the pretzel was REDIC (he was also watching the Gator game...). Although we didn't order lunch here, the burger looked delish. For my lager ladies (or those not on the more adventurous side of beer), the Session lager is probably my favorite beer in Hood River!
Double Mountain Brewery
LOLOL - but this is a super cool spot as well for lunch or just a quick drink on the way to the next stop. Located in DownTown Hood River!
pFriem Family Brewers
This (and a few others on this list) are basically within walking distance in Downtown Hood river. Worth doing a "bar crawl" of sorts depending on when you arrive and how long you are staying!
