The Getaway: Road Trip to Hood River
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are lucky to be surrounded by an abundance of natural landscapes. From rivers to beaches and mountains to forest; Oregon truly shines in nurturing a passion for the outdoors in all seasons. The vast Columbia River stretches east across our state, eventually touching the beautiful city of Hood River just about an hour away from Portland. On a nice day, heading east on the Historic Columbia River Highway is no trouble at all if you want to enjoy a day in the sun.
