Welcome to Bend
Bend is located in Central Oregon along the Deschutes River. Despite its god-awful sun-blazed summers and Antarctic winters, it's loved by many for its beautiful scenery and wide access to outdoor recreation. Bend is a popular place for hiking, skiing, and kayaking. The nearby Cascade Mountains and volcanic landscapes offer a cool backdrop for outdoor junkies all year round.
Originally a logging town, Bend has grown into a somewhat thriving community with a strong focus on tourism, technology, and local culture. Bend blends small-town charm with modern amenities. From the iconic Pilot Butte to the buzzing breweries, there's a little something for everyone in this high desert town.
