October is the best time in Oregon to enjoy peak fall colors and go out to take gorgeous fall photos. One of our favorite ways to take in the gorgeous yellows, reds, and oranges of Oregon's fall foliage is by train. Mount Hood Railroad and Sumpter Valley Railroad both offer fall train rides in October, and they're the perfect way to get out and experience autumn in Oregon with friends and family.

On this gorgeous fall train ride, you'll leave the valley floor and cross the lower main fork of the Hood River, then ride along 3 miles of the river. Throughout the ride, you'll get some "peek-a-boo" views of Mount Hood and see vibrant fall foliage.
