Hood River

The terrain of Hood River ranges from the broad Columbia River shoreline in the north to orchard-covered foothills toward Mount Hood in the south, creating a compact town framed by water and volcanic slopes. Set where the Hood River enters the Columbia, the city lies within the Columbia River Gorge, where steep basalt walls enclose one of the Pacific Northwest’s defining waterways. Orchards around town underpin the Hood River County Fruit Loop, a well-known route of farm stands, cideries, and seasonal harvests. Its historic downtown preserves an early-20th-century commercial character. Browse other webcams across the Columbia River Gorge to place Hood River in a wider geographic context.
