Quick Details
Travel by Trolley and Train through the beautiful Hood River Valley. This new and unique experience combines two modes of travel… an open-air trolley — and a vintage passenger train on which you will experience the panoramas of this lush area. The trolley will take you in one direction with stops at Panorama Point seeking views of snow-capped Mt. Adams to the north and Mt. Hood to the south. Continuing through the orchards, you will visit to the Hope Ranch Lavender Farm, The Fruit Company, and the Mount Hood Winery. Friendly guides will provide information along the way while you meander past a river, orchards, vineyards, and magnificent viewpoints. This combination package is designed to provide a comprehensive scenic experience.
Gray Line Trolley & Mt. Hood Railroad Train Combo
This is a combination package of riding a Gray Line Trolley through the Valley one way and then riding the Mt. Hood Railroad Train the other way for a wonderful round-trip excursion.
Bookings at 10:30am will start on the Trolley… and return on the Train.
Bookings at 11:30am will start on the Train… and return on the Trolley.
Arrival Time
We advise arriving at least 45 minutes before departure to allow ample time for parking and making your way into the depot for the pre-boarding entertainment.
Parking
We strongly encourage you to pre-pay for parking when making a reservation; this will save you time and make everything easier when arriving.
Food & Beverages
Sandwiches and Wine Tasting can be pre-ordered. Also, some food and drinks are available for purchase during the layover at The Fruit Company. In addition, you are welcome to bring your own snacks, drinks, and picnic lunch — but you may not bring your own alcohol. If alcohol is purchased on the train, drinks may be limited to 1 per person (please be prepared to show ID).
Seating on the Train
All seats are assigned by our staff.
Note: The train car will have a table that seats 4, so if your group has fewer than 4 tickets, you might be seated with someone else to fill the table. If you want to ensure you don’t share a table, please make sure the number of tickets equals a multiple of 4.
If you would like to be seated with another group, please book everyone under one reservation — or put the first & last name of the group you want to sit with in the comment section when booking.
Wheelchairs
Parlor seating is the only option that can accommodate wheelchairs, so you will be assigned a seat in that section. Keep in mind, since this is a historical train, the width of the door is 30 inches. We have a lift, but unfortunately, we are unable to load or store electric wheelchairs. Also, wheelchairs will not fit through the bathroom doors, so please keep that in mind. In addition, the Trolley can accommodate up to 2 non-electric wheelchairs.
Assistance with Boarding
If anyone in your party needs a lift to board the train (such as use of walkers), please let us know in the comments when booking your reservation, so we can plan accordingly.
Pets
No Pets are allowed for health & safety reasons. Please don’t put our staff in the uncomfortable situation of having to issue a $100 violation or refuse to let you board the train again after the layover in Pine Grove. It diminishes enjoyment for all involved.
