Mt Hood and the Blooming Fruit Orchards of the Hood River Valley

Mt Hood and the Blooming Fruit Orchards

Card Caption:

Pear trees in the Upper Hood River Valley burst into full blossom each April, while deep winter snow blankets the north face of Mount Hood.  At 11,240 ft (3,426 m), Mount Hood is Oregon’s highest peak and most recently active volcano.  It last erupted a little over 200 years ago.

The Mt Hood Railroad runs along part of the tracks from Parkdale to Hood River

Note Mt Hood in the distance.

The Hutson House, Museum, Barns and Park sit at the end of the route.

Apple Valley Country Store

The store is charming and located in Hood River – very touristy!

We got the card at their BarBQue Restaurant in Parkdale – which is quite good.

I love the old look of the orchards in the Hood River Valley.

We picked this one up to send to my Aunt.
