With a great height and fun terrain for boarders of all levels, Mt Hood boasts of many activities that can keep you and your family busy in the wintertime. You could hop into a chair lift at Hood Meadows to go up. Cooper Spur Resort is family-friendly and offers beginner-friendly and lift-accessed slopes too. You could also try out Little John Sno Park or White River Sno Park.
Hood River’s downtown is great for exploration. Here, you’ll find boutiques like Melika. You will also find a toy shop that is fun for your kids, classic bookstores to get caught up in, coffee shops, lots of galleries and other shops too. You could also enjoy live music at Naked Winery.
From the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) to the Hood River County History Museum. Hood River has lots of museums to keep you occupied this winter. WAAAM has one of the largest collections of still-flying antique planes and still-driving antique automobiles in the U.S. If history is your forte, then the Hood River County Museum will enthrall you. There is also the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum nearby which you can go to and hear the story of the Gorges’ natural and cultural history. The Columbia Centre for the Arts is also worth a visit.
Hood River is an excellent base camp for cyclists at all times of the year and during winter, is a great launching point for the Mosier Twin Tunnels Trail and the Lower Deschutes River Trail. You’ll also enjoy the services of many breakfast spots, coffee shops and take-and-go lunch offering restaurants.
You could also enjoy a family hike along the Hood River Waterfront Trail and stop at the Waterfront Park. You can then warm up at any of the nearby restaurants before catching a movie, swimming in the town’s indoor heated pool or taking ski or boarding lessons.
