Pick, Press and Play in Orchard Country

Hood River, OR | Family | Autum | 3-day

Harvest is when the Hood River Valley shows off for kids — 150 fruit varieties at Kiyokawa Family Orchards, fresh cider and friendly goats at Draper Girls, and a 130-year-old red barn piled with pears. Pedal the car-free Twin Tunnels trail, picnic at an orchard food cart under Mount Hood, and hike to a mossy waterfall at Viento. Evenings stay easy with wood-fired pizza on the waterfront and burgers done right. Everyone heads home sticky, cider-happy and ready for the rerun.
