Getting there: Hood River is ~55 minutes by car from PDX airport, and to get to the venue is roughly an hour & twenty. Currently there are no ride share apps operating out of Hood River - you can take an Uber or Lyft to Hood River from Portland, but you will need to schedule a Gorge Taxi or Hood River Taxi for the way back (in advance). Alternatively we recommend renting a car to experience driving down the scenic Columbia River Highway.

Lodging: There are many great options in the Hood River area - we recommend booking a place downtown to be close to the shuttle pickup (Mount Hood Railroad lot), or there are a lot of great AirBnB's in the area. We listed a few options below, but use our custom link through the Knott to get discounted rates: https://hotelblocks.theknot.com/EventPage8062828
Shuttles: We’ll be using First Student buses (look for yellow school buses!) to shuttle guests to and from the venue. Buses will be picking up at Mount Hood Railroad parking lot in downtown Hood River. The lot is a short walk from most down town locations, but you can also pay to park your car there for the day.
Buses will arrive at 2:30pm and depart at 2:45pm.
Pickup address: 110 Railroad Street, Hood River OR 97031
Return shuttles: at the end of the night one bus will be heading back to Mount Hood Railroad, and one bus will go straight to the after party at Oak Street Pub! Make sure you confirm with the driver that you’re on your desired bus!
