Bend Hotels and City Guide

Bend started out as a logging town but has quickly become a Mecca for those who love the outdoors. There are a lot of activities for you to try, whatever time of year you visit. The two biggest reasons Bend is geared up for outdoor activity is because of the stunning Cascade Mountains and the rushing Deschutes River. This also helps explain why Bend is so beautiful. Mount Bachelor is a ski destination for those interested in hitting the slopes in the winter and the Three Sisters Wilderness has great hiking trails in the summer. The river is the place to go for rafting and Cascade Lakes is a fantastic place to go fishing. Bend also has its share of amazing golf courses. End your day at the Deschutes Brewery to enjoy a local pint of beer and some tasty treats. Enjoy a tour of the plant if you really like the beer. Rumor has it they even let you do a few taste tests.
