About Visit Bend

A warm, inviting mountain getaway with a cosmopolitan appeal is what you’ll find when you arrive in the friendly town of Bend, Oregon.

Majestic, snow-capped peaks adorn the high-desert skyline, making for some of the best weather in Oregon—think sun-drenched days and cool nights—along with endless options for plenty of play time.

Dubbed the “outdoor playground of the West” for a thousand good reasons, Bend is world famous for both its outdoor pursuits and pristine beauty. You can catch an art exhibit, dine at an award-winning restaurant,spoil yourself at one of our many spas, or climb South Sister, the state’s third highest peak. Bend makes a great spot for family-friendly fun as well, from whitewater rafting in the summer months to wintertime Kids Ski Free specials at Mt. Bachelor. What will your Bend adventure be?
