Mt. Hood Railroad, Oregon
A video postcard of the Mt. Hood Railroad based in Hood River, Oregon, and traveling regularly from Hood River to Parkdale near the northern foot of Mt. Hood. The rail line, built between 1906-1909, passes through lush Hood River Valley orchards bordering Hood River, and offers a comfortable standard class, as well as nicely upscale first class and diamond class accommodations.

Mirror Lake & Mt Hood Scenic Forest
As we began our accent up Mt Hood on the ski lift, we froze as we swung perilously over sharp rocks and blunt boulders six stories below our dangling feet, no soft comforting snow beneath us, just bare rock waiting for us. We could hardly move, dared not. Annie gave me a look and a sound escaped her lips like Nancy Kerrigan, WHY, WHY?! But it was OMG. After finally getting to the top and crawling out of the lift, we decided to walk down. Then it was on to beautiful Mirror Lake just below Mt Hood in Oregon. This video has great background music and wait until you see Mirror Lake. The Sandy River is also featured.
The Hood River County Fruit Loop - Hood River Oregon - August 12, 2013
This is just a few farms around the 35-mile scenic drive that's on the list of what is called the Fruit Loop in Hood River Oregon. Get to visit the valley's orchards, farmlands, and vineyards. Get to sample all the locally grown Oregon Fruits and Vegetables as well as the great Oregon Wine. My favorite is the Oregon Pinot Noir Wines and the Marion Berries fruit which is like black berries but much sweeter.

Grant's Getaways: Hood River Mountain Trail
We love to ramble this time of year, when much of Oregon is still shaking off winter's lonesome run -- a time when you'll find us on the road and looking for something new. So it really pays when you join folks who know their way in, around and through Oregon's backroads and byways and trails less traveled -- it offers me a chance to learn new routes across familiar places. Many hikers are surprised to discover that the Hood River Mountain Trail offers a unique and spectacular view -- not just of the mountain in Portland's backyard but the sprawling Hood River Valley too.
