Take This Fall Foliage Train Ride Near Portland For A One-Of-A-Kind Experience
While Portland and its surrounding areas have a plethora of pine trees to help keep up looking green year round, there are still plenty of opportunities to spot some fall color. For one of the most epic fall color tours around, take a ride on the Mt Hood Railroad’s Harvest Fall Excursion and enjoy some of the best fall colors of the season.
Starting in Hood River, the 4-hour trip takes you to Parkdale and back.
An onboard guest speaker will narrate the journey, providing you with interesting historical and present-day information about the area best known for its fruit.
Enjoy a short walk or visit the Hutson Museum at the train depot for no added cost.
Guests 21 and older can participate in a sampling of local Harvest Brews along the journey.
Apple Valley BBQ provides picnic lunches, which includes a pulled pork or chicken sandwich and all the fixings.
Standard Class provides rowed seating, while Diamond and First Classes offer booths and in the case of Diamond Class, a domed roof for some spectacular panoramic views.
There is nothing quite as spectacular as the reds, yellows, and browns of fall across the horizon.
To guarantee your spot, you will need to book a ticket in advance. The trips all take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
