A Mt. Hood – Parkdale, Oregon B&B
Tamanawas Falls, in the Mt Hood National Forest, is one of my favorite hikes and one I send my guests on quite often. The trailhead is about 7 miles from the Old Parkdale Inn. This is an great hike year-round. This 100 foot high, 40 foot wide waterfall is easily accessed by hiking an moderate/strenuous two [...]
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 [...]

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 17. Treat Dad to a Hood River Valley getaway. Tour wineries, breweries, take a hike. Solera Brew Pub, formally Elliot Glacier Public House, is just across the street from the Old Parkdale Inn. Good food, brews and view of Mt Hood. The Hood River Valley has many wineries open [...]

Wisk him off, or send him to, the Old Parkdale Inn Bed and Breakfast. Bring the bikes or hiking boots and explore the Mt Hood National Forest, just minutes from [...]
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 [...]
The Old Parkdale Inn is situated in the scenic Hood River Valley and only minutes from the Indian Creek Golf Course. Spectacular views of Mt Hood, Oregon’s tallest peak and Mt Adams, across the Columbia River in Washington, follow you as you play some of the best greens in Oregon. Indian Creek and two others [...]
…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. [...]
