Just off US-26 at the southern foot of Mt. Hood, Government Camp is but another wide spot in the road with a range of food and drink options. For espresso, microbrews, sandwiches, pizzas, and pastas, stop at the Mount Hood Brewing Company (503/272-3724), at the west end of town. Another good stop is the Huckleberry Inn (503/272-3325), open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and famous for its wild huckleberry pies, huckleberry pancakes, and huckleberry shakes. If you’re unable to move after a berry feast, the inn also offers low-priced rooms.
Government Camp’s main attraction is the Mount Hood Ski Bowl (503/222-2695), a year-round recreation center with skiing and snowboarding in winter and mountain biking in summer, plus guided horseback trips, go-carts, paintball games, and a 100-foot bungee jump.
