What is it? The Hood River fruit Loop is a loop that goes from Hood River and goes up to a town named Parkdale and then you will go to a highway 35 which is then comes back down to Hood River to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. This is a very scenic route and takes about one day on average to complete the loop as there are many places to stop along the way such as fruit stands, hotels, and other places to shop not to mention the magnificent views of Mount Hood and the beautiful scenery that you will see along the way.
