Bend
About 105,000 people.
Bend sits in the high desert on the east side of the Cascade Mountains, where the sun shines often. It is a favorite spot for people who love the outdoors.
You can float down the Deschutes River on a warm day, ski or play in the snow at Mount Bachelor, and explore lava caves and volcano trails at the Newberry area.

Mountains & Rivers
Bend is surrounded by snowy peaks and the cool Deschutes River, so families ski in winter and float, fish, and paddle when the weather warms up.

Long ago volcanoes shaped this area, leaving behind lava caves to explore, cinder cones to climb, and the fascinating High Desert Museum to visit.
