Bend rests in the very center of Oregon, a state with a varied yet amiable climate. To the east is a desert-like plateau and to the west are the Cascade Mountains and a large pine forest leaving Bend in the middle with the best of both worlds. Temperatures are mild with dry sunny days and cool nights.
Ski and snowboard in the winter or hike in the summer on Mount Bachelor's many splendid trails. Visit downtown Bend for theatres, shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Enjoy live music venues or have a beer at one of six micro-breweries.
Come watch what once was the quaint mountain town of Bend, bloom into the most stylish and sophisticated city in Central Oregon.
