Spring Break |
Spring Break boredom setting in? Not here! Hit the slopes, look for Bigfoot and even befriend a baby alpaca in Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory. Here are a few of our favorite ways to help you and the family discover all that the region has to offer during one of our most beautiful seasons.
Picture this: Your little ones squealing with delight as they pet fluffy goats, curious alpacas or even gentle cows. Imagine their eyes wide with wonder as they spot ostriches, camels and even llamas in the fields. The memories (and adorable photos!) will last a lifetime. We have a number of great farms to meet a new furry friend at this Spring Break!
You don’t have to look hard to see reminders of Mt. Hood Territory’s most famous resident. In fact, the signs are everywhere: This is Bigfoot country. Founded by Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot” alum Cliff Barackman, the North American Bigfoot Center is a treasure trove of Sasquatch evidence. They have video and audio recordings, casts of footprints and displays of other items that will have even the most skeptical of visitors puzzling the possibility.
The 2024 Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival kicks off on March 22, just in time for Spring Break! In addition to viewing acres of beautiful flowers, their complete list of daily activities will no doubt offer lasting memories for your whole family.
Keep in mind that timed advanced online ticket purchases are required. No tickets will be available at the gate.
Snow in the spring keeps Skibowl as a top attraction even though "winter" is over. When the snow keeps falling, the runs keep open!
If skiing isn't your thing but you'd still like to get out and have some snow time, then try their tube hill. In addition to daytime runs Skibowl offers Cosmic Tubing where you slide down their epic hill beneath a dazzling laser light show and killer tunes over head. Also, during spring break the tube hill will be open all day. View the schedule.
When spring arrives people start hitting the trails to get some fresh air and escape cabin fever. Which makes sense because Mt. Hood Territory has some incredible trails! From easy trails to view fish at Wildwood to harder hikes to wildflowers, you're sure to find the perfect trail for you family and experience level. Note: Some higher elevation trails may still have snow on them.
TMK Creamery in Canby is not just a creamery (although the are a silver metal winner of the World Cheese Awards!).They are also a gathering place for families to bond over ice cream, farmstead cheeses and, of course, the cows, aka Cowlebrities! Their farm includes a tasting room looking into the creamery and even a kids library. And parents, they also have the only vodka in the US made with milk from the cows they love so much.
