Celebrate Spring With a Scenic Train Journey Through Hood River in Full Bloom

The orchard valley will be transformed into a beautiful canvas of blossoming trees, flowers, vines, and plants.

The train departs for a 45-minute scenic ride along the Hood River, passing blossoming orchards, fresh green forests, and vineyards waking up for the season. Afterward, you’ll deboard for 45 minutes to visit The Fruit Company and Mount Hood Winery. Lunch can be enjoyed at picnic tables with mountain views or onboard during the 45-minute return trip. The train returns to the depot at 2:00 pm for the morning ride and 5:00 pm for the afternoon ride.
