Families looking for fun in the Columbia River Gorge are invited to Hood River, Oregon, this weekend, for three days of adventure.
OUTFOUND creators Antonio Aransaenz and Drew Neumann will hold their first adventure sports and outdoor innovation festival Friday, Saturday and Sunday, along the Hood River waterfront.
“The wilderness here is incredible, and people just see the value in it,” Neumann said. “It’s a magical playground for people of the outdoors.”
This destination is about 50 miles from Camas and Washougal. Take state Route 14 east, past North Bonneville, cross the Bridge of the Gods before Stevenson, and then follow Interstate 84 east to Hood River.
“I would encourage people from Camas, Washougal and other neighboring towns to take advantage of this,” Aransaenz said. “It’s a one-of-a-kind event. It’s never been done before in terms of bridging all of these different activities together. I would encourage people to stop by and see what it’s all about. A lot of creativity, passion and hard work have been put into this for the past two years. I think that will come out in all the activities people get to experience.”
