Description
Step aboard one of Oregon’s most scenic rail adventures and celebrate the colors and flavors of autumn on the *Mount Hood Fall Train*. Journey through Hood River Valley’s rolling orchards, golden forests, and family vineyards as Mount Hood towers on the horizon. The historic diesel train winds gently through fruit country, where every bend reveals another view worth framing. Enjoy a 45-minute layover at *The Fruit Company* for fresh-pressed cider, seasonal treats, and local wine tasting, or simply relax on deck with panoramic views of the Cascade foothills. Choose from cozy standard booths or upgrade to parlor, premium, or VIP seating with lounge access and a private bar. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, family, or group of friends, this is Oregon’s signature fall experience — nostalgic, indulgent, and impossibly picturesque.
