Search hotels in Hood River

The only thing I am not crazy about has nothing to do with what anyone can control. It can be a bit windy and cold at times , but that is the Gorge. You really can't have such beauty without a bit of rugged weather. It is a bit hilly getting around when walking, and if you have any mobility issues it can be hard. I pulled my hamstring a week before we were in Hood river and it was good for me to walk and stretch, but you might have some fatigue set in sooner than usual if walking a great deal. Overall it was wonderful.

Visited fruit orchards on the "Fruit Loop" path including Parkdale. Enjoyed visiting them with the variety each offered and eating those fruits. They were all well attended by tourists like us. Enjoyed driving. Also enjoyed the Hood River Farmer Market with vendors offering unique products like this Comfort Starr vendor very smaller than a grape white/golden tomato tasted so sweet. Stumbled on Kickstand Restaurant with their tasty huge 20 dollar burrito contrasted with avocado poke. The snow capped Mount Hood with a cloud halo around it is something to behold.

Many hiking opportunities, even from downtown. The rail bike adventure is super fun (though pricy at $200) and you see some great scenery--both Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams on a clear day from the Fruit Factory where you stop for 30 minutes.

Could hear water running from upstairs room, made me think the toilet was running but it wasn't. There wasn't enough coffee and no breakfast at all. Only the expensive river view rooms are "pet friendly". The grounds were beautiful, lot's of walking paths and little niches. Room was clean and comfortable, not overly large. Deck was nice.

Unknown, to me, there was a big convention Iin town, so the hotel prices were jacked up, almost double, than it should have been. Besides that, Hood River was great. Bend, Oregon, I prefer over Hood River.

Beautiful views of the Columbia River Gorge! Worth a trip across the bridge to White Salmon, Washington which is the Supernatural Capital of the Pacific Northwest! You can drive west along the river to cross back at the Bridge of the Gods where Charles Lindbergh flew his plane below the bridge. Fun to see the amphibious biplane at the harbor and the salmon fishing. Mount Hood and vineyards nearby. Loved Grateful Vineyard about 20 minutes out of town, with orchards and vines and great pizza with a view of Mount Hood. The Stone Hedge Garden restaurant has beautiful outdoor gardens, a historic house setting and delicious food. We drove all the way back from Portland to dine there a second time on the last night of our trip. We are seasoned travelers and loved this place.
