Hood River at a Glance
Located in the Columbia
River Gorge, Hood River boasts spectacular scenery as well as an abundance
of recreational activities. Windsurfing and kite sailing enthusiasts come from
around the world to take advantage of the Gorge's steady wind conditions. The
Columbia River provides a perfect location for fishing and whitewater rafting
adventures. The area can be explored via the Historic
Columbia River Highway State Trail. Outdoor activities aside, Hood River enjoys
a wealth of entertainment. Hop on the Mount
Hood Railroad and take in the panoramic views of majestic Mt. Hood while enjoying
a murder mystery dinner, or sample acclaimed ales and seasonal brews after taking
a tour of the Full
Sail Brewing Company. Moreover, many of Hood River's vineyards welcome visitors
to their tasting rooms. The International
Museum of Carousel Art, home to a large and comprehensive collection of antique
carousel art, is well worth the visit.
