Ah, sweet, ripe summertime! The Northwest is mighty generous in its bounty of fresh produce and fruit and those of us lucky to be rambling around the scenic countryside in our RVs can easily stop to pick our own, or buy local from one of the many farms we drive by.
If you’re in northern Oregon, don’t miss the incredibly scenic Highway 35—the drive known as the Hood River Fruit Loop. Pick it up about an hour east of Portland in the Columbia River Gorge area. Did you know that this region produces more pears than anywhere else in the U.S.? You’ll also find cherry orchards (July is the perfect time to enjoy this Northwest fruit), lavender, and a variety of winemakers where you can sample delicious fruit wines. Art and locally made crafts, bakeries, and alpaca farms are part of the Loop experience.
