Traveling In
Hood River is conveniently located in the heart of the scenic Columbia River Gorge only 60 miles east of Portland. It is a beautiful drive with miles of gorgeous river views, passing the famous Multnomah Falls, Bridge of the Gods and Cascade Locks, with many scenic overlooks. We recommend flying into the Portland airport (PDX) and renting a car for the weekend. If you're coming from the Pacific Northwest area, we recommend driving out here! The drive from PDX to Hood River is about 1 hour and 5 minutes. If you want to make it a full West Coast adventure, SEA (Seattle Airport) is about 3 hours north of Portland and sometimes has easier flights from main city hubs like NY and Nashville. Driving from Seattle to Hood River takes about 4.5-5 hours.
