Mount Hood Railroad

It was one of those things that I thought would be too good to be true: cycling through the forest practically on your own, enjoying the views, on a track so no chance of getting lost! But it wasn’t. It was exactly what I imagined and even better. Probably one of the best rides of my life. And the crew was amazing! Our tour guide Michaela was charismatic and funny. And if you sit in the last car, you get a special (and ‘secret’) treat x

My wife and I were looking for something different to do, and I happened to see the rail bikes on Insta. I showed it to her and said we should go. We booked our tour an hour later. I can say that it did not disappoint. Our tour guide Chrissy was great. Very animated and full of energy. The boys handling the rail bikes were very professional and friendly. If you're looking for an outdoor adventure that is a little different from the regular trails of Oregon, do the rail bikes in Hood River. You won't be disappointed.

We took the spring train and it was so beautiful. The staff were great and worked well with kids. It was a fun ride to the fruit stand. Great weather for lunch and some shopping. Then a great trip back. Definitely worth the time.

The Railbikes are a fantastic family outing for a day trip; The Staff was nothing short of perfect; Engaged, Helpful and very Attentive. You cover a lot of ground and pedaling is not necessary with power assist. (I think everyone turns into a big kid and does). We had perfect weather for this occasion. I would highly recommend late spring!

I cannot believe how much fun we had doing this. The weather was perfect, the staff was awesome, and the Railbike was really fun to ride. We are already planning another trip back later in the year when the weather starts to change. This isn't a flat boring ride through neighborhoods, instead, it is an almost 6-mile uphill climb (no worries, the bikes have electric motors to help you maintain 10-12 mph uphill) through beautiful scenery - Mount Hood, Mount Adams, the river, and even a little waterfall. At the top there is 45 minute'ish stop at The Fruit Company and Mt Hood Winery. We purchased a lunch to eat at the break (but you can bring your own food if you like). The return trip was almost all downhill (but the staff did change out the batteries on the Railbikes during the layover), and we got up to 22 mph before we decided to slow down just a little bit. If you are looking for the perfect date - look no further than the Mount Hood Railroad Railbike experience.

I always look for fun and interesting things to do with my son who is nonverbal and loves to ride things! This was a fun, enjoyable, and exciting time. The guides were great and it was a beautiful, scenic ride. Would recommend!

Me, husband and 16 yo daughter did this over 2025 Mem Day weekend. What a blast! Such a great way to see the countryside, the forest, the mountains, orchards and Mt. Hood winery. The battery run rail bikes were so nice because it just helps you enjoy the experience more, and everyone can do it, including the elderly or anyone who can’t put in the physical work.

I am the coordinator for the Harman Center Tours and I booked 4 days & 13rail bikes a day for my seniors and they LOVED it!!!! we had so much fun! so much so that I am booking them again in the fall and again next year!!!
