We’re ever so close to Blossom Time in the Hood River Valley. We’ve had many guests who have brought their bikes and enjoyed biking the Hood River County Fruit Loop and the many back roads of the Hood River Valley. After a hearty breakfast they’ve left the Old Parkdale Inn and traveled down Highway 35 toward Hood River, detouring off onto a few of the many back roads, cruising through the orchards, stopping along the way to take in some spectacular views.
A unique rural farm experience awaits you in the beautiful Hood River Valley, where you will encounter 31 on-the-farm fruit stands, wineries, breweries, cideries and fields of flowers. The Fruit Loop drive is a 35 mile scenic drive through the valley’s orchards, forests, farmlands, and friendly communities but you could easily extend or shorten your ride. The innkeepers can pick up items you purchase along the way and bring them back to the inn.
