HOOD RIVER, OREGON! Fruit Loop Trail, Breweries, Pizza & Historic Hotel in the Columbia River Gorge

- We are in Hood River, Oregon for the night. We check into the Historic Hood River Hotel in downtown Hood River and hit the ground running. We walk over to the waterfront along the Columbia River to have dinner and a few beers at the local breweries.
Along the waterfront are breweries, restaurants, coffee shops and businesses soon to be opening. It's great place to hang out during the summer months to watch the wind surfers and kite boarders and the rest of the year as Hood River host many events.
We have a pizza and a few beers at the Solstice Pizzaria. Even though we aren't vegan, we still enjoy many of the vegan options on the menu, and we ordered the vegan pesto pizza, which was awesome.
While we waited for a table at Solstace, we walked 5 minutes down the waterfront to Pfriem Family Brewers and enjoyed their beers and sat upstairs overlooking the waterfront park.
After the Pizza we visited the Ferment Brewing Company. We have always enjoyed their selection of beers since they have opened, and they NEVER disappoint. Unique varieties of beer alone traditional Northwest favorites we satisfy everyone in the party.
Heading back to the Historic Hood River Hotel we use our coupons for a free cocktail at Whiskey Tango and meet some friends. We have a few more and move on to have a few more. A great night and so close to the hotel, just a short 5 minute walk away.
In the Morning we have breakfast at Broder Ost. This Nordic restaurant serves traditional meals such as Danish Pancakes for breakfast and Swedish Meatballs for Dinner. We will now come here to eat each time we visit Hood River.
After checking out of the Historic Hood River Hotel, we start the Mt. Hood Fruit Loop Trail. Along the way we stop at cideries, bakeries and country stores. We will come back to do the trail in the summer when all the businesses are opened for the season.
The Mt. Hood Fruit Loop is a scenic driving route located near Hood River, Oregon. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, especially during the fruit harvest season. Here's some information about the Mt. Hood Fruit Loop trail:
Location: The Mt. Hood Fruit Loop is a 35-mile loop that winds through the Hood River Valley, located at the foothills of Mt. Hood in northern Oregon. The loop is easily accessible from the town of Hood River, which is approximately 60 miles east of Portland.
Scenic Route: The Mt. Hood Fruit Loop offers stunning views of orchards, vineyards, forests, and mountains. The route takes you through picturesque landscapes, with plenty of opportunities for photo stops and scenic overlooks. You can expect to see a variety of fruit trees such as cherry, apple, pear, and peach orchards, as well as vineyards producing award-winning wines.
The Mt. Hood Fruit Loop is not just about fruit and farms, but also offers opportunities for outdoor recreation. You can go hiking, biking, or horseback riding on the many trails and roads in the area, or take a scenic drive to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

***About***
We are Ron and Jodi. We have been together since 1992 and have been traveling and exploring around the Pacific Northwest and beyond the entire time. Please join us as we go rambling around our next 30 years while living our “work hard, play hard” philosophy. We will try to show as much of our adventures, tips and reviews as we can through our journey practicing for retirement.
This channel will be about adventures big and small, weekend getaways traveling in the motorhome exploring our region to flying away on extended vacations discovering new destinations. We hope to inspire others to make time to travel, explore and discover what our land has to offer.
We love to check out breweries, restaurants, local hikes in the area as well as traveling away to see what other destinations have to show us. We take our dogs as much as we can, but some areas aren't made for our furry kiddos.
Not every video will be an award winner but all we need is someone to laugh and enjoy the ride along the way.
Hood River is like the coolest town and greatest town! The people are very, very friendly, cool and caring they'll help you with anything and let you do anything. It's very rich the schools are perfect. You can drink beer and alcohol anywhere in the town it's the only town in the state where you can. It doesn't get too hot in the summer and doesn't get too cold in the winter. The cost of living is not overly priced. The views are very beautiful and stunning. The people are seriously the most coolest, sweetest and helping people they're help you with anything. It's seriously the perfect town!
You nailed it. That was a great description of the town and the people. Real cool! -Ron

Such a fascinating content as always, I watch the walk around, eat and the atmosphere is really fun Anna. Thanks for filming...
Thanks for watching and commenting we are very thankful! Yes walking around and finding local spots is the best!
Great video! I remember traveling up to Hood River way back in the 70s with my family. I loved it then and have always wanted to go back - now we have a bunch of great places to check out thanks to you guys (gonna have to try a Danish Mary)! Great job on the video and editing - I love how much fun you guys have on your trips !
Yes we will stay in touch and keep watching your travels cause you are covering areas we have never been. Just make sure when you start making plans to head this way keep us posted it would be cool to do a meet up. The farthest we are going this year is California, Nevada and of course Oregon, Washington and Alaska !
Wonderful upload here friends enjoyed this see you again stay safe 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Wow!! I love how much you guys love to have fun!!! Great beers, great pizza, cool room, fantastic location!!!! Well put together, and love the music selection you choose for your videos!!! Thanks for bringing us along!!!!😂😂😂😂
What wonderful comments. Thanks so much for watching and we are so happy you enjoyed this! Thanks for the continued support and wonderful comments! So thankful!
Couple things... I LOVE the music choices in this video!!! The other thing that I love is when you two go to a brewery and it usually goes like this....
Ron - "Here's a lovely Snozberry Wheat that has a light fruity flavor that cleanses the palette well"
Jodi - "Here's a triple thick coffee stout, and here's the steak knife I'm going to cut it with!!!"
Love you guys!!!
Oh you are always so funny when we see your comment we can't wait to read it! Yes and even funnier...about 95 percent of the time they hand me the fruity sweet drink and hand Ron the dark one. We do share them both but that's not how we order them or finish them! Looking forward to when we get to meet up and enjoy that Beer and Steak with you both! Now get that work done so we can see you Ramblin again!
@@justramblinaround For the record that happens to Toni and I too. Just the other day we were at the bar at the RV resort we're currently staying at and she ordered a beer and I ordered a Cosmopolitan, of course she got the cosmo!!

just lovely brilliant share.
Wow that is so sweet thank you very much for the comment and the support!!
We visited oregon about 6-7 years ago and took a day trip to hood river and absolutely loved it. We cant wait to go back and visit more breweries- we loved Thunder Island brewing right along the river. We loved that you use untapped, we use it all the time! we'll make sure to take a trip along the fruit loop
Thunder Island was one of our favorites we would even drive across the bridge from Stevenson just top hang. Good and bad they are still around but they moved we loved that spot by the water on a picnic table on a nice day we love finding small breweries and great views. They are now up the hill and they are very big they have several stories and a couple outside decks. They are big now but still have good beers. Well let's stay in touch maybe let us know ahead of time when you are coming out and we will do a You tube meet up. We have several videos of other towns that are just 10 to 60 minutes from this one that you may also love. Thx for watching and supporting we will stay in touch and continue to watch how you have and are Just Ramblin Around!
Funny that we live so close to Hood River and have never really explored it. What little we have done has been when we camp over at MaryHill State Park. But then we hit the winery up there. Love the classic Rainer T shirt! Great Video
Thanks I gave that shirt to Ron last June for his birthday after hiking when we went to Crooked River Ranch and Smith Rock. We love Maryhill we stayed at Peach Beach and Ran around in a video as well. Every time we come back from Hawaii or a big trip we alwasy say we have many hikes and places around us we still need to explore!
Nice. I spent a summer w the USFS as a wilderness ranger in the Mt Jeff wilderness in the late 90s!
That would have been fun bet you learned a lot. PNW is wonderful!
Great job my friends! 💙👌👍
Thanks for watching the premier this morning and chatting with us!! We apreciatte you!
Nice sharing! keep it up with your stay safe there! stay in touch with you!
Thanks for watching and commenting we are thankful for the support!
A regular room is still bigger than our RV space😂😂😂 we are heading to Oregon for the first time later this year and really excited about it😊
That is so true!! Great point! Wow lets stay in touch and if you are interested let us know ahead of time and we can do a You Tube meet up we are doing 2 already this summer. UNtil then we will keep growing our channel and supporting your adventures!!
@@justramblinaround sounds great!😁👍
Great day to exploring with your video thanks you so much for your sharing please have a good day from Angkor Wat temple Cambodia
Thanks for watching and supporting us!
Wow! That was awesome from the check in to the themed hotel room, the kite surfing, the brewery looked delicious and the pizza was next level! The smores dessert looked so yummy! Overall Hood River looked like an amazing trip! After watching the breakfast meal I am seriously considering adding this to my travel plans this year! That was a great rambling adventure! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful comment so glad you enjoyed it! Yes that breakfast was so good we plan on going back for sure. Thx watching and we will stay in touch!

We had a good time. Thanks again for your support and watching and commenting!
Awesome looking place
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support!
Watched your video. Like it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel!! We are very thankful!
As long as it is clean, thats the most important thing. Regular rooms are great, especially if you are not planning to spend much time in your room. I do love good craft beers. Peter likes a good Guiness or Stout. I am more of an Amber Ale or a Pale Ale. Pizzas are great. Nice cocktails. The Danish Pancakes looked delicious. Love the George White House. Hmmmm Cherry Cider! I do like a cider, but not sweet! That bakery looked delicious. I used to watch "Little House On The Prairie" too! 🤣Bag a Muffin, awesome store. Loved the adventure, thank you for taking us along. 👍🏼🙏🏼❤
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Little house fan I knew I liked you. We agree depending on the vacation the room sometimes doesn't matter. That breakfast was amazing! Looking forward to more of your adventures we hope our paths will cross one day and we can have drinks!
That was amazing
have a good day
Thanks for watching and the support we are very thankful!
Very nice "regular" room 😃👍🏼 Wing Foil skateboarding! Didn't know that was a thing!! That s'mores dessert 🤤 Love it when you can openly drink in public 😃
Thanks for your continued support. It is still very winter around here so glad the skateboarding / wind surfer was out nobody wants in the river right now. That dessert was so damn good! Yes it is really fun to enjoy a beer and watch everyone on the river! Thx again Tone keep Ramblin Friend!
Another area we are looking forward to visiting!! Food and beer look awesome!! You are so close to 500!!! So happy for you guys!!
What a fun video! We love that entire area! You guys found some amazing breweries and food! I love watching your channel! Now, excuse me while I go have a beer and some pizza! ;)
Thank you so much for joining us on another adventure and you to could enjoy this adventure next time your in town!!
Awesome video guys! We went to Oregon once and made it to Tillamook but now we know of some delicious looking locations for the next time we make it up that way and we love to eat 😅. We also love some hot springs so we will be looking forward to seeing your next video. ❤
Thanks for the support! We look forward to more of your adventures!!

Well unfortunately we have seen that with many towns and cities over the years unfortunately things are always changing and not always for the better. We do enjoy Hood River quite a bit we have been visiting it on a regular basis for the last 20 years and ut is honestly better then many other areas but we do understand what you are saying. We are so glad you watched and hopefully it brought back some good and fun memories we really appreciate you commenting and supporting us hope your a Rambler and we see you again you will probably recognize many places. Thx again for joining us !! 😊
What an incredibly culinary experience and trip! The Hood River area is a place with some character and fabulous breweries. Once again, you two have nailed it, providing excellent (and entertaining) coverage 🍺👍👍😀
You are so sweet!! We are so thankful for this amazing comment!! Appreciate you!!

i JUST SUBSCRIBED!! You guys are so cute!! Happy travels to you both!!
Oh my u are so sweet! Funny thing is we thought the same of you. You have such a great outgoing personality and love the hair! Your entertaining we will be keeping in touch!
Hood River looks like it has many interesting things to do. The two of you have a very nice personable and friendly approach in your videos. I really enjoy watching you. The Historic Hood River Hotel has a real charm and it is always wonderful to learn about the stories of these old survivors. The walnut bread looked very tasty. I liked the comment about "I have to work on my core" That was pretty funny. Thank you for the great tour.
Wow such wonderful comments. We always wonder how we sound to others glad to hear you are enjoying us. Yes we love history so much we really appreciate what we have and who provided it for us to enjoy! I find so much beauty in the past. Hahaha almost took the core out Ron appreciated your comment he emediatlly called me to say see people like dad jokes! Thank u again for the support. I am on the treadmill almost done and going to your channel to relax on the floor!! Love your channel!!
Jodi, Your videos are excellent. They are very well edited and both you and Ron come across very professional. Your approach works and I hope that many more people see your efforts.
I loved Ron's comment about working on his core. I am glad that you left it in.
Thank you for great comments about our channel. I am glad that you are enjoying it.
Thanks again.
Good river !
i love your beautiful video
Thank you for watching so glad you liked it.
Hi my friends, it's always 5:00 - brewery time. I like the pictures they have up in the room. pFriem - how do you pronounce that? freem? Oh wow that smores dessert looks so good. Oh ok "Ferment" lol. too bad you can't send me a sample of the strawberry ferment you are talking about. Oh boy you don't want to leave on probation. oh wow a birthday drink - that is neat. Yall try so many different things, I wish I could travel also. Walnut bread and Danish pancakes oh my - I had to pause the video and get me an apple pie. Thanks for making me salivate. It must be still cold there since you are both wearing jackets. That fruit loop place looks interesting, wish we had a bakery like that here, ours is such a plain jane. lol Jodi I watch little house in the prairie also but never knew the name of that wagon. hehe. Thank you for taking me along on this fun trip. Love you guys stay safe out there.
Wow thanks so much for watching the Premier this morning and all the great comments and support! We are so thankful for you! Yes Freem! Oh yes I have probably watched every little house episode many times! Love you guys too!! See you around!!
Goodness you guys are really making us second guess stalling our next trip out west. I can't wait to hit some good Breweries out there. Do you have a Top Breweries per State list? Or since that is probably tough, Top Breweries per region? Great video, we always enjoy watching you guys. Keep up the good work and the Alcohol content! (Pun intended!)
Excellent Pun!! We do have several breweries from most states. Do you have the App Untapped if not you should check it out then we can message you how to find us on it. Basically it is for beer lovers and its fun you earn stamps for different reasons. Mainly it is fun cause you can keep track of what you like and get info where it is made. We like it cause we can look to see if we had something before and if we liked it. Also you can see what your friends tried and thought. I found a beer that was made in Oklahoma and fell in love with it and Ron thought it would be fun to take me on an anniversary to that brewery anyway the plane tickets were crazy ridiculous for some reason and it was cheaper to fly to Maui. (LOL) Thanks for watching and your continued support. We hope you get out this way or maybe at some point we all meet up somewhere until then keep Ramblin we will be watching!!
Looks like a cool place to visit. I'd be worried about gaining a few pounds while visiting though.
Yes you are correct it is so difficult but the sacrifice we are willing to make. What you don't see is we started fasting and working out more. During the 2 to 4 weeks in between filming we have been working hard but we are scared because we are having longer trips this summer we are just going to have to hike more, bike more and learn self control! Thanks for watching we are very thankful!
@@justramblinaround I’m sure you figure it out. You guys are funny. Take care.
@@OutdoorsWithJohnUSA Thanks for watching and your continued support. We appreciate you!
Tempat yang bagus untuk nongkrong selama bulan musim panas .
