It’s biking weather. And we’re ever so close to Blossom Time. We’ve had many guests who have brought their bikes and enjoyed biking the Hood River County Fruit Loop and the many back roads of the Hood River Valley. After a 
hearty breakfast they’ve left the Old Parkdale Inn and traveled down Highway 35 toward Hood River, detouring off onto a few of the many back roads, cruising through the orchards, stopping along the way to take in some spectacular views.
A unique rural farm experience awaits you in the beautiful Hood River Valley, where you will encounter 31 on-the-farm fruit stands, wineries, breweries, cideries and fields of flowers. The Fruit Loop drive is a 35 mile scenic drive through the valley’s orchards, forests, farmlands, and friendly communities but you could easily extend or shorten your ride. We can pick up items you purchase along the way and bring them back to the inn.

Less crowds during the week
The Hood River Valley is a spectacular place to visit. Tour the valley and stop in at the fruit stands, family farms, lavender farms, and wineries on the Fruit Loop. Less crowds during the week. More apples and pears for you to taste and take home. The Mt Hood National Forest is just minutes away where the awesome fall foliage always puts on a show. A little bit later in the month, after the harvest is in, the acres and acres of fruit trees begin to turn. Or you may just want to relax in our gardens, a throw over your lap, watching the family of quail that have called our garden home this summer.
