Things to do in Hood River
Hood River sits in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, where steady summer winds funnel through the canyon and have made the town one of the world’s great windsurfing and kiteboarding destinations. Orchards of pears, apples and cherries fill the Hood River Valley, which rises south toward the snowy peak of Mount Hood, and the town is known for breweries, cideries and wineries. The economy mixes agriculture, tourism, outdoor-gear companies and drone and aerospace technology firms that have grown up in the area.
