10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Hood River That You Shouldn't Miss
Hood River beckons travelers with the scent of orchard blooms and the promise of adventure on the rushing waters of the Columbia River. The winds through the Columbia River Gorge provide the perfect conditions for windsurfing and kite surfing, making the city a hotspot for those sports in recent years. The surrounding area is ripe with orchards growing cherries, apples, peaches and other sweets. Take the Mt. Hood Scenic Railroad through the orchard route and take in the views of Mt. Hood.

Reviewed By Jcwill5 - McMinnville, United States
I never realized how beautiful symmetrical rows of blooming lavender could be. Stunning purples pleasing the eye and sweet smells filling the air, all with spectacular panoramic views of Mt. Hood as the backdrop. We purchased a bouquet for $12 and found both the staff and the establishment to be top notch. I highly recommend a visit to Lavender Valley while on the Fruit Loop, or as a single stop destination on the way to or from Hood River and Timberline Lodge!
