Welcome to The Dalles, where sunshine, adventure, and small-town charm come together. Nestled in the sunny rain shadow of Mt. Hood, The Dalles is a place where you can slow down, stay awhile, and experience the best of the Columbia River Gorge.
Spend the day biking scenic roads, hiking to incredible viewpoints, fishing the Columbia River, paddling through whitewater, climbing basalt cliffs, or relaxing at a campground under a sky full of stars. There are countless ways to enjoy the outdoors here.
The landscape is part of what makes this place so special. The Columbia River cuts through the Gorge alongside rolling wheat fields, orchards, vineyards, and rugged hills that change with every season.
The Dalles also has a story to tell. Explore museums, historic landmarks, and local legends, or plan your visit around one of our favorite traditions, the Northwest Cherry Festival each spring.
When the day's adventure winds down, head downtown for great food, local wine, craft beer, live music, and friendly faces. It's easy to spend an afternoon browsing shops, meeting locals, and discovering something unexpected around every corner.
We hope you'll make yourself at home, explore a little longer, and see why so many people fall in love with The Dalles.
