'''Hood River''' is a fine city town in the state of [[Oregon]], with some familiarity with hitching. Kayakers, snowboarders, hikers, and bicyclists are often bumming hitching around. Since these individuals hold the highest of respect in Hood River society, hitching has a relatively good reputation.

The cheapest place to sleep is the Columbia River Gorge Hostel just across the river in Bingen, Washington. You'll have to hitch across the bridge, as pedestrians are prohibited from crossing. Wait time is very low.
