All aboard! Built in 1906, The Mount Hood Railroad is an iconic, family-friendly scenic railway in beautiful Hood River, Oregon. Recently acquired by The Fruit Company®, it continues to provide memorable tours, including scenic train rides, railbike adventures and specialty excursions through stunning forests, rushing rivers, and fruit-filled orchards.
Adventure enthusiasts can now uniquely experience the splendor of the Hood River Valley along a scenic stretch of railroad track. Our railbikes allow you and a friend to pedal or e-assist from the Columbia River up through forests, over bridges, waterfalls, and into the fertile orchards of the Hood River Valley.
Go behind the scenes of The Fruit Company’s historic 1940s-era factory and see how their delicious fruit gifts are made. The tour begins with a brief history of the company and its commitment to producing high-quality gifts using sustainable farming and sourcing practices.
