The Fruit Loop is one of Oregon’s premier day trip destinations, starting with strawberries at the end of spring and ending with pumpkins in the fall. The collection of local orchards, farm stands, wineries and breweries offers visitors a veritable bounty in the fertile Hood River Valley, nestled between Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge.
In this episode of the Peak Northwest video series, host Jamie Hale spends an entire day exploring the Hood River Fruit Loop, harvesting fruit, collecting lavender and tasting cider.
