Welcome to Hood River

When you visit Hood River, you become part of something. Something that’s bigger than the town, or the mountains, or the rivers (and trust us, those things are all pretty impressive). You become part of our community. You’ll be welcomed by folks happy to share their local knowledge and a passion for not only their surroundings but their place in it. So whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in our natural beauty, or simply get a taste for the lifestyle, Hood River is the place for you.

We look forward to seeing you when you get here because…You’re Our People.
