Sightseeing
So, it’s all outdoor stuff here. Bend delivers on outdoor FUN!
Breathtaking views, world renowned rock climbing, and lots of hiking options at various skill levels. If you like a good heart-pumping hike then don’t miss Misery Ridge.

In town hike/walk with out of town feels. Stroll along the river, breath in the fresh air and clear the mind! Probably my favorite in town 3 miler. I like to start at Farewell Bend park Bridge. You can actually walk for quite agile along the Deschutes River as it winds throughout town.

Bachelor and the 3 Sisters
Mt Bachleor has some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Oregon. There are also several Snow parks that are great for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. The snow parks also have warming huts that you can hike/ski to for a quick break. Snow parks require a day use pass Oct-April which can be purchased in town at Bend Visitor Center or at any Oregon DMV office or online and at local retailers like Mountain Supply. During the Summer many of the bigger and more popular hike on MT Bachleor and the Three Sisters Wilderness require day passes or passes for overnight use. Those passes must be purchased a week in advance at www.fs.usda.gov.com.

Absolutely stunning, moderately rated 9.1 mile out and back hike. Make sure to check trail conditions before heading up the mountain. There is often snow in the ground at the upper parts of the trail through June. I rely on AllTrails for hike conditions. You also need a permit to hike or camp. You’ll need to get the permit in advance (1 week). See link below for details.

Great family friendly spot for overnight stays or a day time adventure. Elk Lake is home to a variety of summer and winter activities. From kayaking and fishing to snowmobiling and snowshoeing, Elk Lake has lots to offer all year long. Elk Lake Resort has rental equipment available, so you don’t have to rent in town and haul up the mountain.

Что взять с собой
Bring layers!
Because we are in the high desert, even summer nights can cool down a bit. Make sure to bring layers.

They are everywhere here in Bend. At first you hate them, then they grow on you. Best advise I can give is to use your turn signal!
