Experience the Charm of a Summer Train Journey Through Hood River’s Valley
Step back in time and experience the Summer Train as it leisurely travels along the Hood River Valley for a short distance and through the beautiful Northern Oregon forest on this roundtrip excursion to Pine Grove.
The train ride will take you through tall trees, across the Hood River, past a small waterfall, stop at one of the few switchbacks still operating in America, change directions and climb a 3% grade through orchards and vineyards. As it approaches Pine Grove, enjoy iconic views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. To help plan your perfect day, we recommend arriving around 10:45 a.m. to check in and pick up your tickets at Will Call in the historic train depot. The train will depart promptly at 11:30 a.m.
During the layover, passengers will deboard for approximately 45-minutes to visit The Fruit Company & Museum and Mt. Hood Winery. Depending on the class of ticket, table service is offered during the train ride with refreshments & food options. If you packed lunch, there are picnic tables outside with mountain views, or you can eat on the train. The train will return the same 45 min route back to the depot at 2 pm.
