Fun Weekend Getaways in Washington State
Weekend getaways in Washington can look different for everyone. Whether your weekend trips in Washington involve solo adventures hiking to gorgeous Gorge views or deep into the heart of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, you’re looking for a fun way to spend some memorable time with your best girl or guy friends, or you’re looking for cozy Washington getaways filled with intimate moments and quality time together with your sweetheart, it’s impossible to be disappointed in a trip to the Columbia River Gorge.
There are so many fantastic things to do in the Columbia River Gorge. It’s true that there’s something here for everyone: outdoor lovers, artists, food lovers, wine lovers, and more. We could write about something different every day and probably still not cover all the many things to do in this ruggedly beautiful part of Washington (and Oregon). We have a curated list of nine of our favorite things to do in the Gorge below, and we will be more than happy to offer even more personalized recommendations when you join us for your upcoming weekend getaways in Washington.
- For the adventurous travelers, there are few better things to do in the Columbia River Gorge than hiking, and there are plenty of trails perfect for those scenic winter hikes. There are more Columbia River Gorge hikes than you can possibly enjoy during your weekend getaways in Washington, but after decades here, we can send you to some of the best!
- Like hiking, biking is another great way to get out and explore the natural beauty of The Gorge. When the snow hits the trails, trade your regular bike in for a fat tire bike, and enjoy a whole new range of pursuits. There are trails that range from easy, paved, and flat to steep single tracks in the mountains.
- Don’t miss chasing waterfalls along the scenic and historic Highway 30 in Oregon, also known as the Historic Columbia River Highway. This is where you’ll find the biggest waterfalls in the area, including Multnomah Falls. It’s perhaps more impressive when surrounded by a snowy, frozen landscape, and will certainly be a highlight of your winter getaways in Washington.
- If outdoor adventure isn’t your thing, you’ll still find plenty of ways to enjoy your winter weekends in Washington. Admire the area’s scenic beauty as you drive and taste your way from farmstand to farmstand along the Hood River Fruit Loop. It’s not just a spring and summer attraction!
- The Columbia River Gorge is also a burgeoning home to many delightful wineries, and you can easily spend a couple of days visiting some of the top Columbia River Gorge wineries. Winter wine tastings take on a quieter, more intimate atmosphere and are one of the most romantic things to do in the Columbia River Gorge.
- There’s also plenty of great beer in the area, including Thunder Island Brewing on Thunder Island, Pfriem Brewing in Downtown Hood River, and many others.
- Speaking of downtown Hood River, don’t miss the charming ambiance and boutiques, not to mention some fantastic restaurants in Hood River. With fewer crowds in town on winter weekends, you’ll find less competition for spots and an equally as delicious experience.
- The dark skies of the Columbia River Gorge are perfect for stargazing, especially if you head to Goldendale Observatory. Make sure to take warm clothes, but enjoy the crisp, wide-open winter skies like never before!
These are, of course, only a few of the ways for you to enjoy your Washington State getaways. When the Columbia River Gorge is your playground, just about anything is possible!
