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.

The WAAAM Air & Auto Museum has one of the largest collections of still-flying antique aeroplanes and still-driving antique automobiles in the country. The items on display at this museum are not only full of history, they're full of LIFE! Enjoy over three-and-a-half acres of indoor exhibit space.
I first heard of WAAAM years ago, shortly after they opened. At first I thought "An antique airplane and car museum in Hood River? How good could that be?" I have come to rue those thoughts. If only I had visited much sooner. If you like antique planes, this is a must see, bucket list item. The number and variety of antique aircraft is simply astonishing. And the fact that the planes are maintained in flying condition - well, that is just fantastic. I am not a pilot, but I do like vintage aircraft. I love to see all the details that make up a craft that can take to the air, in the relatively simple form of old airplanes. You can see all the working bits in some of these planes. Take a look at the 1910 Curtis Pusher, where you CAN see everything. If you also like vintage cars, those are here in abundance as well. Would you like to learn how to drive old cars? WAAAM has you covered there as well. I have taken the Model T driving course, and will be back for another one. Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about WAAAM, it is simply wonderful.

Experience the magic of flight as you take a trip back in time in our 1942 Waco to when flying was as much about enjoying the journey as it was about arriving at your destination in style. Enjoy flying in an open cockpit biplane around Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge, for a vintage flying experience for 2 passengers. Cessna 182 option also available for a family of 3.

Dropped by this area today and the gate was open to drive in! Great views of Mount Hood in the backdrop while upfront are the green farmlands and orchards. No trash lying around the bathroom area and plenty of parking.

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!
