Flight

Portland International Airport (PDX)

For out-of-towners traveling to the Columbia River Gorge, we recommend flying into Portland International Airport (PDX). The most convenient way to get to Hood River from PDX would be to rent a car at the airport. You could also consider booking the Hood River Taxi (see below) or coordinating a ride with one of our lovely Portland-based guests.
