A Mt. Hood – Parkdale, Oregon B&B
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 [...]

On January 1st I participated in the 2012 Christmas Bird Count. Although this yearly event has been going on now for 111 years through the Audubon Society it is the 24th event in the Hood River Valley. Unlike many, I stayed close to home participating in the FeederWatch Count. Thousands of volunteers braving the winter weather, grab their binoculars, [...]
A couple years back someone tacked this added message below the warning sign that really states the obvious. Be prepared when exploring Oregon during the winter months. And don’t always rely on that GPS. Many forest roads, while beautiful alternatives from the main highways and freeways during the snow free months, are not maintained during the winter. Travelers should be aware that even [...]
What are you doing this holiday weekend? It might not be the best weather for outdoor adventures or snow sports but it could lend itself to a relaxing, quiet retreat. Saturday is full at the Old Parkdale Inn but we still have rooms on Friday and Sunday. And the winter travel conditions, while wet, will [...]

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 [...]
