Farewell Bend, (the name was later shortened to “Bend” by a U.S. Postmaster who considered the name too long) lies in the shadow of towering peaks of the Cascade Mountains along the western border of Central Oregon’s high desert plateau.

With its dramatic terrain and moderate climate, Bend is a recreation paradise. Enjoy fishing and rafting the Deschutes River; ski or snowboard the glaciers of internationally renowned Mt. Bachelor; golf on world-class courses; hike and explore miles of scenic trails.

Exploring Bend’s thriving Downtown and Old Mill Districts with its myriad of specialty shops and quality restaurants will be a highlight of your visit.
