We went here at the very beginning of our relationship and is definitely one of our favorite spots. Not only is there lodging, but you can stop in for a day and enjoy their spa.
We hike this trail often! You'll find great views early on and if you stick it out to the end you are rewarded with a special little forest. Mountain bikers use this trail often as well in case you want to take the adventure up a notch!
White Salmon, Washington is known for their optimal river rafting trips. We recommend this activity if you are spending more than just a couple of days in the area.
Our favorite pizzeria & brewery in Portland has a Hood River location! If you like pizza, you won't be disappointed ordering the 'Truffle Shuffle'. They also have a gluten free crust that is quite special!
If you're wanting a lazy river beach day, this is your spot. This stretch of beach is connected to the Hood River Waterfront Trail and pops you out to downtown Hood River with tons of local shops and restaurants.
Another beautiful stretch of beach that is right next door to the epicenter for Wind Surfing in the area. This location is similar to the Hood River Waterfront Park in that it is right off of the Waterfront Trail that takes you down to Downtown Hood River.
On our way back from out first backpacking trip together, we stopped at this truly delicious waterfront spot.
If you're wanting to explore the farms in the Hood River valley, this self-guided tour is a must. Take a 2.5 hour drive along some of Oregon's most treasured wineries, breweries, fruit farms and more.
