Bend, Oregon, Is One Of The Best Towns In America To Visit When The Weather Is Warm
It’s no secret that we adore Bend and think it’s one of the best all-around towns in Oregon. Not only does this charming locale have a soft spot for the nostalgic, but it’s also the ultimate outdoor enthusiast’s playground. Snowshoeing, skiing, hiking, and kayaking… you can do it all in this Central Oregon town. And while the outdoor recreation here is spectacular any time of the year, there’s just something extra special about visiting Bend, Oregon when the weather is warm.
Central Oregon is a resplendent region full of mountains, forests, and rivers, making it an outdoor enthusiast's dream. And Bend certainly benefits from its killer location at the heart of it all.
Cascade Lakes is another dreamy place to go for a float. Local adventure outfitter Wanderlust Tours provides guide-led canoeing and kayaking expeditions on this lovely body of water, too!
In spring when heavy rains douse the PNW, Oregon's waterfalls are more wondrous than ever. Tumalo Falls is one of the best Central Oregon waterfalls to chase in the spring, and the hike to these falls is both scenic and accessible, too.
Known as one of the most dog-friendly places in the country, Bend's trails are the perfect place to spend a day with your four-legged BFF as we welcome springtime's sunshine and warmth!
