Things To Do
Mt. Hood Winery
Located in the Hood River Valley with vistas of Mt. Hood, Mt. Hood Winery is a spectacular place for a wine tasting and vineyard touring. Walk through vines planted on the rich volcanic soils and smell the clean mountain air that facilitates the winery’s ideal growing climate. Visitors have a chance to peak at our bottling facility and aging process, and of course, taste a broad variety of wines in our beautiful wine tasting room.
Thunder Island Brewing Co

We are proud to be founding members of Breweries in the Gorge. Based out of the city of Cascades Locks, Oregon, Thunder Island Brewing makes crushable beers inspired by a love of outdoor adventures, with a nod to local history and with a respect for all that the scenic Columbia River Gorge has to offer.
Hood River, OR
Hood river has something for everyone - it’s the go-to destination for foodies, trekkers, historians and adrenaline junkies. Called the windsurfing capital of the world, Hood River is located at the panoramic crossroads of the Columbia River Gorge and the Cascade Range. It’s chock-full of scenic hiking and mountain biking trails, craft breweries, wineries and farm-to-table bounty. We recommend doing it all.
Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
You’d be hard-pressed to find vistas as stunning as these. At the western end of the Gorge, the view from Crown Point is a front-row seat to the mighty Columbia as its unfurls and cuts through the Cascade mountains. From there dozens of awe-inspiring waterfalls spill from basalt cliffs, lining the Historic Columbia River Highway, like the famous Multnomah, Bridal Veil and Latourell falls. The landscape seems to grow bigger, grander and brighter as it rolls east.
