8 Things to do for Honeymoon in Hood River That You Shouldn't Miss
Hood River beckons travelers with the scent of orchard blooms and the promise of adventure on the rushing waters of the Columbia River. The winds through the Columbia River Gorge provide the perfect conditions for windsurfing and kite surfing, making the city a hotspot for those sports in recent years. The surrounding area is ripe with orchards growing cherries, apples, peaches and other sweets. Take the Mt. Hood Scenic Railroad through the orchard route and take in the views of Mt. Hood.

My birth place and such a beautiful drive any time of the year with lots of scenery, places to stop and taste the wonderful fruit and goodies along the way. Fruit Loop is a joy to go on. All the way from Hood River to Odell, to Parkdale, Dee and back to Hood River and seeing the majestic beauty of The Hood just about wherever you drive. Takes my breath away every time I see it.

The Columbia River Gorge, a 75-mile canyon through the Cascades, is a broad, picturesque river with water-controlling dams.

We saw the Columbia River Gorge from Bonneville Dam to Troutdale. We loved all of our stops : The Bonneville Dam, the Fish Hatchery, Multnomah Falls, Bridalveil Falls, Latourell Falls and Vista House. The other falls were unreachable in June 2018 because the road and the complete area around those falls was closed due to a forest fire in 2017.

6. Marchesi Vineyards
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 236 reviews
Franco Marchesi's passion for wine began in his hometown of Borgosesia, Peimonte, Italy. As a child he always wondered what it would be like to be a winemaker like his grandfather Achille. After running his own import company specializing in Italian wines for over 20 years, Franco began planting his favorite Northern Italian grapes in Hood River, where the climate and soil are just like Northern Italy. Please come visit, and taste our wines. Salute!

First of all let me begin with my impression of the safety adhered to at Marchesi. I’m a senior and considered high risk for Covid so I am nervous about going out. Marchesi goes overboard to insure the safety of customers as well as their staff. I felt totally safe there. This is our favorite winery in Hood River. Today we enjoyed a lovely bottle of Rose made with Sangiovese grapes. We sat among the grape vines and had a delightful time.
7. Horsetail Falls- Columbia River Gorge

Reviewed By Davigeta - Saint Louis, United States
This waterfall is right off the road and you do not have to hike to see it (I am sure the hike is great, but I was glad not to have to hike to see it!). At the base of the waterfall is a pond, and kids enjoy that area a lot. A very pretty spot, DEFINITELY worth a stop.

Dropped by this area today and the gate was open to drive in! Great views of Mount Hood in the backdrop while upfront are the green farmlands and orchards. No trash lying around the bathroom area and plenty of parking.
