Hood River, Oregon Hood River County is centrally located at the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. It extends from the majestic Mt. Hood, north to the mighty Columbia River, which is the only river in North America that flows through a major mountain range (the Cascades) at near sea level. The County is rich in natural resources with agriculture, lumber and recreation as sources of revenue and industry. Fruit grown in the fertile valley is of such exceptional quality that the County leads the world in Anjou pear production. More than 16, 000 acres of commercial orchards growing pears, apples, cherries and peaches provide miles of peaceful scenic beauty. Vineyards have become abundant in recent years, winning wines from the Columbia Gorge AVA.

Through this beauty flows the Hood River valley with its cliffs and crags and improbably round hills formed by volcanic bubbles.”
