A Mt. Hood – Parkdale, Oregon B&B
Where can you ski in the morning and windsurf in the afternoon? Here near the Hood River Valley, of course. We are only 19 miles from Mt Hood Meadows Ski Resort which will continue operation through May, weekends only. There’s always Timberline Ski Area, where skiing on the Palmer Glacier is available year round. After a [...]
Spring skiing, and snowshoeing and cross-country are all going to be awesome! Mt Hood will be buried in a deep blanket of white well into April. If you like storm skiing this weekend will be to your liking as another storm rolls in over the weekend. Visit the Old Parkdale Inn website and book your [...]
I had a phone inquiry the other day: “We’re thinking about coming and staying at your lovely B&B but was wondering, is there anything to do in the area?” Really? Well, let me tell you, one experience at a time. For us there is nothing better than a hike in the Mt Hood National Forest, [...]
My favorite is snowshoe. Never really did too much downhill as a child and now I don’t like to fall down as much and speed is not a necessity! So we snowshoe. For us there is nothing better than a hike in the Mt Hood National Forest, fresh snow, no wind, fresh tracks. If it’s [...]

Travelers should be aware that even [...]
When it is hot in the Hood River Valley there is nothing like a ride on the Magic Mile chair lift on Mt Hood, Oregon’s tallest peak at 11, 240 feet. The majestic mountain can be seen from the Old Parkdale Inn and is an easy day trip, a lovely 35 mile drive. Take the lift to the mountain’s [...]

…we have big white snow flakes. It is snowing pretty hard this morning. Whether it will stick much here in Parkdale and the Upper Hood River Valley, probably not. But it sure is piling up on Mt Hood. Mt Hood Meadows, Mt Hood’s largest ski resort is only 19 miles from the Old Parkdale Inn. [...]
We just returned from a month long vacation, journey if you will, in New Zealand. When we first met back in the early 70′s we had a notion to move there. Of course, one thing led to another and here we are, almost 40 years later, and we finally went. It was a wonderful escape. [...]
Good morning! Today brings the return of snow, and the outdoor adventurists should have no problem finding an adventure, as a winter storm brings plenty of new snow to freshen the slopes and, hopefully, our yard. Yes, it has been warm and raining, pouring, the last few days. Has melted a lot of our snow and [...]
