5 days in Bend Itinerary

An old logging town at the crux of the high desert and ponderosa pine forest, Bend melds a love of the outdoors with cosmopolitan flair.

Step out of the city life by going to Hoodoo Ski Area and South Sister. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like The Art of Alfred A. Dolezal Gallery and City of Sisters. Get out of town with these interesting Bend side-trips: Proxy Falls (in Sisters), Crooked River Scenic Drive (in Prineville) and John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Painted Hills Unit (in Dayville). There's lots more to do: explore the activities along Hosmer Lake, explore the striking landscape at Balancing Rocks, tee off at Aspen Lakes Golf Course, and see the sky in a new way at Dee Wright Observatory.
