We did the mount hood Railbike tour for my boyfriend’s birthday! It was soo much fun! Krissy was our guide and she was a lot of fun (even with her corny jokes haha 🤣) the bikes are battery assisted which makes for an easy smooth ride anyone can do regardless of fitness level. The scenery was beautiful and the stop at the Fruit company was a nice break. There is also a winery on the same site! Such a fun and unique experience! I would highly recommend it to anyone! But bring a sweater even if it’s sunny, the tree coverage and wind make it a bit chilly!
