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.
