Snapshot: BEND, Oregon

Merging High Desert with high culture

Imagine vast national forests, a wealth of fossil beds, unique lava formations and a world-renowned ski resort. Couple that with an annual rainfall of 12 inches, clear skies 300 days a year and your choice of first-class restaurants, acclaimed golf courses and microbreweries—all with no sales tax—and you’d have Bend, Oregon down pat.

The Winding Road

Like the name implies, Bend sits at one of the many bends of the winding Deschutes River that cuts across its city center. However, located in the heart of Oregon’s Cascade Mountain Range that divides the state’s east from west, Bend is most often associated with the surrounding rugged mountains and deep evergreen wildernesses.
