Welcome to Hood River Town Talk. The wind built this town’s reputation — windsurfers and kiteboarders from all over the world make the pilgrimage to the Event Site every summer — but Hood River is also orchards climbing the valley, a downtown that still feels like a hometown, and Mt. Hood standing over everything. Blossom season, harvest season, sail season: Hood River has a way of making every season the right one to visit.
This is Hood River’s front porch. Wind stories, Fruit Loop memories, hometown talk — jump in below.
