We flew into Portland and decided to spend a day making this trip. Beautiful scener. Make sure you stop by the orchard stores and pick up some jelly/jam/syrup. You can make a full day by making the loop and driving back to Portland.

Tip: Try to go to the Lost Lake. Supposedly it has the best view. But during the winter is impossible to get there. The road was full of snow and ice. Anyways the views are amazing even if you don't reach the lake area (check my pics). The Timberline Lodge is another place recommended by Lonely Planet to enjoy the... More

Looking for peace and quiet? Outdoor recreation? Well here it is and the clean air abounds at Mount Hood. Leave Hood River, Oregon and drive south on Hwy 35 for only 16 miles where you leave the pear/apple orchards, blueberry fields and vineyards behind.

The trip to the Mt. Hood National Forest was very interisting... I love to go to the National Parks and get my Passport Book cancellation stamps .... I'm on a treasure hunt and it is so much fun.
