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 [...]

Snow levels dropped to about 3000′ last night just above the orchards which sit in the Upper Hood River Valley at about 2000′. The valley beekeepers just put the hives into the blooming orchards this morning. Hope it warms up a bit so those busy bees can do what they do best. The Old Parkdale Inn [...]

The Old Parkdale Inn is only minutes from the Mt Hood National Forest. We like to think of it as our own personal backyard playground. We hike, swim and snowshoe here. Sometimes we just find a very quiet spot to sit and be still. We found such a spot on Lookout Mountain when we hiked [...]

…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. [...]
