CENTRAL OREGON: GATEWAY TO THE OUTDOORS
Welcome to natural mountain adventure at the heart of Bend, Oregon culture. Mt. Bachelor is located just 25 min from Bend and under an hour from the growing cities of Redmond, Sisters, La Pine, Prineville, Madras, and the resort community of Sunriver. There are now over 11 direct flights into Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) each day, making travel to the area easier than ever.
The high desert oasis of Bend, OR has "300 days of sunshine" while Mt. Bachelor averages over 410” of snowfall each season – the best of both worlds. In the warmer months, our region is highly sought after for its cycling, hiking, rock climbing, paddling, golfing, and fishing. During winter, the area turns into a snowy playground with some of the best skiing and riding in the PNW, XC-skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding.
Bend is home to many of the country's top craft breweries, tax-free shopping, and great après-adventure entertainment. Small mountain town vibes meets sophistication here, so expect to find worldly menus and upscale cocktail bars mixed among local breweries and taco joints.
THE UNOFFICIAL BEER CAPITAL OF THE USA
The Bend Ale Trail - The Largest Beer Trail in the West! Bend, Oregon is widely known as the premier outdoor playground of the United States. But a lesser-known element of the Bend Experience is the city’s extraordinary abundance of craft beer.
