- Kbhawk6 contributionsLovely winery with a nice selection of great wines. Lots of private outdoor seating. Very nice service. They are dog friendly as well.Written 16 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Greg MCharlotte, NC5 contributionsThis is a beautiful, robust waterfall right along the road, an easy stop for anyone. Seemed to be plenty of parking on a rainy day. Nothing else to do there but be amazed at the water! (or start a hike at the nearby trailhead).Written 18 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Karen PSeattle65 contributionsThe winery is placed on a beautiful garden where you have the choice to sit outside or inside. We sat outside to enjoy some of the sun and take in the view. I wish they had umbrellas to provide shade so I could have relaxed a bit more. The wines were all a good quality, but I didn't end up purchasing as I was too hot and uncomfortable. The only wine I did enjoy was the Pinot Noir as it was lighter and more fruit forward. Next time I go I'd love to come during a cooler time and sit inside where I'm able to enjoy myself and relax a bit more. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.Written 18 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- melody8vaPhiladelphia, PA50 contributionsBeautiful hike, well-maintained trail, not too challenging. Bathroom at the trailhead parking lot. Gorgeous falls with spectacular icicles. First time using micro spikes. Super fun.Written 6 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Trav_LN_nowCrystal Lake, IL545 contributionsMirror Lake Trail is great! The trail is well maintained, and they have added new bridges across some of the creeks. The weather was not great when we were there, so when we got to the lake it was covered with fog, hence no views of the lake or Mt. Hood unfortunately. We had a lot of fun hiking though, so it was still a great experience. They have improved the parking lot, and there are toilets available.Written 31 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Barbara KLogan, UT22 contributionsWe arrived for our Polar Express type train ride on a rainy Oregon afternoon. Passengers were encouraged to come in pajamas, and we expected the train to be warm. The train was barely heated. The windows leaked and the carpeted floors were soaked, making for cold feet. The staff was cheerful and attentive. Our 3 and 5 old year old boys loved the interaction with Santa, the Polar Bear and the Elves. The little bell Santa gave them, was a hit with them. "Hot" chocolate served was barely warm.
It was an out and back ride to some decorated lit up mock ups, no stop or opportunity to get off.
This trip has great potential, but a cold and wet ride put a damper on the experience.Written 17 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - JeremySeattle, WA70 contributionsThis has always been a place to stop when I'm in Hood River. It's best when the clouds are out of the way and you can see all the way to Mt. Hood. But even if the clouds have the mountin hidden, it's stilll a good place to stretch your legs, breathe in some fresh air and use the bathroom.Written 10 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- simivalley1699Washington, the State2Â 099 contributionsWhat an amazing place we discovered - took a U-turn to drive there.
Beautiful dahlia fields where you can pick your own.
Food truck with lots of good-looking food.
Picnic tables everywhere, even a clean restroom!
We enjoyed walking around the field; asked for coffee - sorry, not available.
Didn't feel like tasting cider, beer or wine - too early in the day as we still had a lot of driving to do.
Lots of parking in the back.
Free entry.Written 11 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Keith SWoodland Park, CO137 contributionsWe like to try local wineries when we are on trips. We drove by here in the way to Mt Hood and stopped for a tasting. It was decent wine; we drove away with a bottle of their Pino rose and one of their peach wine. Views were wonderful.Written 14 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tor1 contributionWy’East Vineyards and Wheels Food Truck are both excellent! They partnered for an incredible vineyard dinner and paired wine evening private for our family. Truly a wonderful experience and every detail was attended to. The food was all local and freshly prepared and each wine from the vineyard was expertly matched to the course. Highly recommend!Written 10 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- JLDLake Oswego, OR38 contributionsGreat mid summer evening ride in the Columbia River gorge to dry creek falls! My husband and I had a great private ride this summer with the owner on her lovely horses! My horse Cinder a Missouri fox trot breed has a lovely smooth gait! Very comfy for trail riding. We didn’t pass one person on the PCT Riding to and from the falls! We had the Forrest all to ourselves! The Horses are very well trained and responsive, and well cared for. As we are experienced riders, and she let up ride ahead. We rode with them also last summer 2019 on our anniversary for the mountain panorama ride which is also another very good ride! The nice thing about this outfitter is that they will match you To the appropriate horse based on your riding experience and Taylor the ride to your ability which means they can offer something for riders of all levels. Can’t wait until they open back up for next Season!Written 19 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- LWoodyOregon4 contributionsColumbia River Outdoors is a new company based in Hood River, OR and offering day trips on the Wild and Scenic White Salmon River. We picked this outfitter because we'd heard the two partners had a great reputation - experienced and extremely safety-conscious. The canyon is beautiful, the whitewater is exciting and refreshing. CRO's equipment and shuttle vehicles are top-notch. I'd definitely recommend this group and I'm sure I'll be back again this summer.Written 21 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
