Bend, OR
An outdoor playground with a pristine backdrop!
Bend, Oregon, is the largest city in Central Oregon, but it doesn’t come with the “big-city” feel you may expect with that title. Bend and Central Oregon are renowned for their beautiful landscape and outdoor recreation. And they should be – there’s not a more beautiful place to go mountain biking than along the Deschutes River Trail. Here in the fifth largest metropolitan area in Oregon and a must-see stop in the Pacific Northwest, you can also visit the High Desert Museum, grab a craft beer or two, and shop ’til you drop!
