Mount Hood Scenic Railway
Our Executive Coach will sail our guests into the gorge, with a stop to admire the views on our way to Hood River. The group will have lunch and sample either cider or wine before a short trip to the station for the Mount Hood Scenic Railway. The train will chug along some beautiful scenery, with changes in foliage sure to be evident, and have a layover at the fruit company. Once back in Hood River, guests will check into the Hampton Inn & Suites, located on Hood River and the Nichols Boat Basin, for the first two nights of our journey. After checking in, the guests will have dinner in town as a group. (L, D)

WAAAM & Hood River Harvest Fest
This morning after breakfast at the hotel, the group will head to the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) for Second Saturday. This is a fantastic opportunity to see automobiles and even airplanes in action, weather dependent, of course. Antique automobiles and airplanes are brought out of the hangars and are available for rides around the facilities, or airplane rides for a fee. In 2024, four OregonWest travelers flew in an antique biplane over the Gorge - the pictures are incredible! The group will then head to the annual Hood River Harvest Festival featuring dozens of vendors of food and crafts. Lunch will be on your own so you can sample from the vendors that you wish. After free time at the Harvest Fest, head with the group to sample wine from the Oregon side of the Gorge and then freshen up at the hotel. Dinner will again be in Hood River as a group. (B, D)

Our Vegas trip was so enjoyable!! The group was very nice, four nights in a smoke free casino was a plus, great weather, our sightseeing venues were so neat…especially flying over the Grand Canyon and the shows, Cirque du Soleil and The Wizard of Oz were exceptional! Another nice addition was our new, fun, capable guide. A great time!

This trip was spectacular.. the weather threatened to impact our activities but did not. Everyone was welcoming. Tour director was conscientious of everyone's needs. Hotel accommodations were above expectations as were the restaurants. Everything was well planned out and overall the trip was the best I have had.

This was my first time using Oregon West Excursions. I had a wonderful time. Our tour director was the best. Like many seniors I have mobility issues. I did quite well and when needed there was a helping hand. I am excited to go on another adventure with this great team of people. I am a true fan of Oregon West.

A very good trip! I really enjoyed the mix of spending time in the natural environment of Nevada and experiencing the entertainment on the Vegas Strip. Karen our tour guide was positive and professional in handling the travel glitches that arose. She was very enjoyable to travel with.
