Natural IdyllsSunriverOften referred to as “Fun River,” Sunriver is the Northwest’s premier destination resort where the emphasis is on fun ... for any age and any season. During the warm weather, you’ll find world-class golf courses, indulgent day spas, tax-free shopping at The Village at Sunriver. Outdoor adventures for the kids with biking on more than 30 miles of paved trails or swimming and sliding at the SHARC, and trail riding in the wilderness, or grab a stand-up paddle, kayak or canoe at the marina and explore the Deschutes River. If running is your passion, don’t miss the Pacific Crest Sports Weekend triathlon/marathon and family runs in June or the Marathon for a Cause over Labor Day weekend. In the winter, Sunriver is the closest ski village to Mt. Bachelor and provides a welcoming and romantic winter wonderland with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing right out your back door. Regardless of how you spend the day, Sunriver will pamper you at night with an amazing array of luxury accommodations. Beautifully appointed vacation home rentals, condominiums or hotel suites are ideal for everything from romantic retreats to family reunions and corporate incentive business meetings. The Owl's Nest in Sunriver Resort, Hola! and the new Sunriver Brewing Company only begin the list of culinary delights of this AAA Four Diamond destination.
Must see: The view at sunset out toward the mountains from the Sunriver Resort Lodge.
Must do: Spend a thrilling day at SHARC, the new waterpark, complete with indoor-outdoor pools, water slides, a lazy river, lap pools and bocce ball courts.

Mountain LifestyleBendWhen it was known as “Farewell Bend,” it was a village composed of a few makeshift buildings on the banks of the Deschutes River; the last hospitable spot pioneers saw on their epic wagon train journeys west over the Cascade Range. Today, Bend not only remains a hospitable place, it has become the setting of national-scale sporting and recreational events. When it comes to events, take your pick. From triathlons and multisport races, to ski races, running races, mountain bike races, fly-fishing competitions and more, Bend is an athlete’s reward. For the less hardcore athletes, there’s a lazy float down the Deschutes River through Bend’s Old Mill District. Hikers will love the Deschutes River Trail and taking their pooches for some play time at one of several dog parks. If you get too ensnared by Bend’s recreational options, you’ll miss a vibrant cultural scene that’s alive with art galleries, art
walks, a full schedule of outdoor concerts with top musical acts and a lively theater scene. Twelve breweries are behind Bend’s exploding craft beer culture. On any evening out, take in one of the town’s brewpubs and drink in Oregon’s burgeoning “beervana.” Feeling a little more formal, try one of the dozens of white-linen restaurants, or blow back the other way with great eats from a food cart. The rest is easy when you’re staying at a destination resort, a chic urban hotel or a vacation rental in town.
Must see: Tumalo Falls as it tumbles 90 feet to Tumalo Creek. Ten miles west of Bend, the falls are a top destination for hikers, bikers, snowshoers, cross-country skiers and photographers year-round.
Must do: Hike the Deschutes River Trail and rendezvous at one of Bend’s top-notch craft breweries on the Bend Ale Trail.

Western AdventureSistersTake a small town with a slow pace of life and overlay an ever-expanding creative culture and a long-standing outdoor recreation culture, and you have Sisters. In the shadow of the snow-capped Three Sisters, the town’s artistic vibe is a blend of art galleries, music (Sisters Folk Festival) and crafts (Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show). The outdoor vibe is enhanced with the Peterson Ridge trail system that starts just blocks from the heart of down-town. This dirt is popular with runners, hikers and mountain bikers. There’s hiking and backpacking in the Three Sisters Wilderness, fishing in Whychus Creek and golf at Black Butte Ranch and Aspen Lakes. Plus, three of Or-egon's Scenic Bikeways originate from this quaint little town. Dining options include two superb bakeries, a local brewpub and restaurants that appeal to everyone from the French gourmet to the steak-and-potatoes lover.
Must see: The hundreds of colorful quilts hung every-where in town during the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.
Must do: “The Biggest Little Show in the World” – The Sisters Rodeo – held annually every June for over seventy years.
Metolius BasinTravelers will find Camp Sherman a tranquil paradise on the banks of the crystal-clear waters of the Metolius River bound by old-growth Pondersosa pines. Today, Camp Sherman is a year-round mecca sought by fly-fishermen, hikers and mountain bikers, who have miles of stream to fish and trail to ride and hike. More bustling in nature, the nearby Black Butte Ranch Resort has stood the test of time with two exceptional golf courses and all types of family fun from horseback riding to swimming, hiking and mountain bike rid-ing. Not far from Black Butte Ranch is Suttle Lake, offering an exceptional summer experi-ence. The lake is a playground for sailors and anglers, and has a hiking and mountain biking trail that circles the lake. The Lodge at Suttle Lake offers luxury and rustic cabins along with exceptional dining. A bit farther up the highway is the Hoodoo Ski Area, which has a loyal following among skiers and snowboard-ers alike. In summer, the area close by the ski resort is dotted with campgrounds and close to some of Oregon’s most treasured hiking—the Pacific Crest Trail.
Must see: The spot where the virginal Metolius River springs from its headwaters and also showcases one of the best views of Mt. Jefferson.
Must do: Stay along the banks of the Metolius in a cozy cabin or an elegant country retreat.

The HubRedmondLong noted as Central Oregon’s com-mercial air hub (RDM), Redmond has transformed itself into a rejuve-nated town with upscale restaurants, brewpubs, lodging, a bustling farmers market in summer and outdoor ice skating in winter. Add in a few open-air music events and a growing art scene and Redmond is fast undergoing a renaissance. Smith Rock State Park in Terrebonne is a top attraction in Redmond’s backyard. Its umber-colored sheer rock cliffs are known among rock climbers worldwide yet equally known regionally for the hiking and mountain biking trails.
Must see: The Deschutes Rodeo and County Fair or the display of hundreds of flags in Flag City, uSA.
Must do: Walk Redmond's downtown in winter and go ice skating.
Newberry Country La PineThe Newberry Crater in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument is a must-see for any budding geologist. The caldera is a spectacular shield vol-cano and what's left when its dome collapsed some time between 500,000 and 2,000 years ago. From its top, you can witness a lot of the makeup of Central Oregon—beautiful lakes (Paulina and East lakes) and large lava fields such as the Big Obsidian Flow. This ocean of lava was used by NASA astronauts in the 1960s as training for what the surface of the moon would be like. Both East Lake and Paulina Lake have small natural hot springs on their banks for public use.
Must see: The craters running with Paulina and East lakes from the summit of Paulina Peak.
Must do: Experience La Pine's unique heritage and July 4th festivities at La Pine Frontier Days and Rodeo, or make time in June for Oregon's only Rhubarb Festival.

TerrebonneThis tiny hamlet just north of Madras is the gateway to Smith Rock State Park and the birthplace of sport climbing in America. Terre-bonne may be small, but many of the world's top climbers have paid her a visit after clipping bolts at Smith Rock. Terrebonne is also a pop-ular spot for some of the best fly-fishing on the Crooked River. This spectacular little place was one of the settings for the 2001 movie, Swordfish, starring John Travolta, Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman. The Terrebonne Depot restaurant, housed in a renovated 100-year-old train station, is another good reason to make your way there.
Must see: The beautiful rock formations at Smith Rock State Park, with climbers far up their faces. Look for slackline walkers at Monkey Face teetering hundreds of feet in the air.
Must do: Stop for regional wine tasting at Maragas Winery and Vineyards, then treat yourself to local fare at Terrebonne Depot. Enjoy a scoop of world-famous huckleberry ice cream at Juniper Junction.
Crooked River RanchLocated above and bound by the steep basalt canyon walls of the De-schutes River, Crooked River Ranch is best known for its golf, hiking, water skiing and fishing. Golfers can take a short—and more exhilarating—shot over the river canyon on one of the course’s signature holes. Everyone should hike out to the Crooked River overlooks and peer hundreds of feet down into the tumbling waters of Steelhead Falls. Anglers will want to fly-fish the Foley Waters section of the Deschutes River for native rainbow trout.
Must see: The view down into the Crooked River from Otter Bench.
Must do: Play a round or two on the scenic and fun Crooked River Ranch Golf Course, a par 71 “with teeth.”
River Canyon CountryPrinevilleThe most historical town in Central Oregon, Prin-eville serves as the starting point for fishing trips along the Crooked River or the Prineville and Ochoco reservoirs. Camping, hiking and moun-tain biking are some of the area’s best in the Ochoco National Forest and Maury Mountains. Take in local history with a visit to the stately Crook County Courthouse, Central Oregon’s oldest public structure. Add in the Crooked River Round up, the annual rodeo, and you get a sense of what makes Prineville authentic and Western. Fueled by economic growth from its new Facebook and Apple data centers, Prineville is experiencing a renaissance with more places to dine, a new brewpub and choice lodging.
Must see: The winding Crooked River as it flows from Prineville Reservoir into town.
Must do: Hit the Crooked River Round up in June or bring a gambling spirit to the IronHorse Pari-Mutuel Horse Races in July.

MadrasFrom this Central Oregon hub, outdoor recreation enthusiasts can wade and fish the waters of the Deschutes, Metolius and Crooked rivers, or fish from their boats on Lake Billy Chinook. There’s camping on the lake at The Cove Palisades State Park. Close by, there’s superb hiking on The Peninsula and The Island in the Crooked River National Grassland. For something completely different, take a drive north and east of Madras to the old mining town of Ashwood, a place where time has stood still.
Must see: The August Airshow of the Cascades with bi-planes, military and vin-tage models taking to the air.
Must do: Spend a weekend on a houseboat at Lake Billy Chinook.
MaupinRedsides and rafting are the mainstays of Maupin. Redsides are the brilliantly colored, hard-fighting native Deschutes River trout that anglers obsess over. Add to that, whitewater thrills, and this river town is a hive of recreational activity. In recent years, uptown Maupin has seen the addition of more lodging and dining amenities to make it more of a recreation destination.
Must see: Native Americans fishing from platforms below Sherars Falls.
Must do: Hit class III Boxcar Rapids, rafting the Lower Deschutes River.
Warm SpringsThe heart and soul of The Confeder-ated Tribes of Warm Springs, Warm Springs offers the brand new Indian Head Casino. For a cultural outtake, go to one of the finest Native American art museums in the West. A short drive north is kah-Nee-Ta Resort, noted for its warm water swimming pools, spa and blue ribbon fly-fishing. At the end of the day, the amenity-rich kah-Nee-Ta Resort has many paths to relaxation.
Must see: One of the nation's largest collections of Native American art and ar-tifacts at The Museum at Warm Springs.
Must do: Take the plunge in the warm water pools at kah-Nee-Ta Resort; natu-rally heated by hot springs.

THe DeSCHuTeS RiVeR has always been the lifeblood of Central Oregon and vital to any “must do” list. Taking a refreshing and relaxing innertube float down the Deschutes from Bend’s Farewell Bend Park is required river therapy. The best part of the float—apart from its highly social nature—is the availability of a shuttle bus ride from Drake Park back to Farewell Bend Park to do it all over again.If recreational kayaking, canoeing or stand-up paddling is
more to your liking, there are acres of open water with great views out over the mountain and forest landscape in the High Cascades Lakes of the Deschutes National Forest or on Paulina and East lakes in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.For those who fancy lakes with houseboating, water skiing
and swimming, there’s Lake Billy Chinook near Madras.There’s also fishing in all the region’s lakes such as Cultus
and Davis lakes and reservoirs such as Crane Prairie and Wickiup, and, of course, the Deschutes, Crooked and Metolius rivers. The Deschutes is famous for its native “red-side” rainbow trout and its annual steelhead runs. The smaller Metolius River is known for being home to monster bull

trout. Crane Prairie Reservoir, Davis Lake and East Lake are all noted for their trophy trout.On dry land, Central Oregon is the home to more than 200
miles of singletrack mountain bike trails. There’s a wide variety from mellow cruisers for beginners to technical trails requiring expert skills. The singletrack trail network is also well used by trail run-
ners and hikers. The best hiking, however, is in the Three Sisters Wilderness, at Newberry National Volcanic Monument and at Smith Rock State Park—a world-famous rock climb-ing venue. Climbers now also flock to the basalt columns at Trout Creek Recreation Area close to Madras.Back on pavement, Central Oregon has become a hub for
road cycling, with routes fanning out in every direction from Bend. The region also hosts the Cascade Cycling Classic, the longest running road cycling stage-race in the country, now in its thirty-fourth year. Each June, athletes, joined by their families and friends,
converge on Central Oregon to take part in the Pacific Crest Weekend Sports Festival. The Pacific Crest is known as the jewel of multi-sports events in the Northwest and a destina-

rational running country, Sunriver Resort is proud to host the Sunriver Marathon for a Cause. Runners, skiers, bikers and paddlers compete in Bend's festive Pole Pedal Paddle, starting at Mt. Bachelor and finishing in the Old Mill District.With dozens of celebrity-designed
golf courses, Central Oregon has become a nationally recognized golf destination. In September, the Pacific Amateur Golf Classic (the largest ama-teur event in the West) moves daily from one of the area’s 30 courses to

His grandfather, Bill Bowerman,
coached the university of Oregon and
Olympic track teams while helping
ignite the `70s jogging fitness boom.
His father, Jay Bowerman, competed
as a biathlete in the 1972 Winter
Olympics. So it’s really not unusual
that Jayson Bowerman has been an
accomplished outdoor athlete. His
love of outdoor sports led to a stint as
a professional whitewater kayaker and
worldwide travel. But once he settled
back in Bend, he began to pursue his
other passions such as crafting one-
of-a-kind stringed instruments and
making music. When he’s not working
on or playing a guitar or mandolin, the
younger Bowerman still maintains his
interest in watersports via stand-up
paddling on the Deschutes River or on
challenging whitewater runs through-
out the state.
My favorite thing about Central
Oregon is that there’s so much fun
stuff to do here year-round.

another before the champions emerge on the fourth day at the award-win-ning Crosswater Club Course.No matter what time of year and what
recreation precedes it, the region’s brewpubs are always alive with activ-ity. Brewing craft beer and the publican lifestyle have become a Central Oregon hallmark. Many of the region’s pubs have integrated their indoor space with expan-sive outdoor dining while offering excel-lent food, live music and, of course, tasty ales, lagers and stouts. Cheers!To take it all in—brewpubs to golf,
hiking, fishing or floating—it can be daunting. Leave the logistics (and driving) to GETIT Shuttle and The Bend Trolley. Both of these transportation boutiques offer tours built around recreation and libations.

Let it Ride Tours
An absolute summer must for road cyclists is riding one of the four regional scenic bike-ways. All are well marked and are within the ability of most riders, intermediate and above. The 36-mile Twin Bridges Loop, begins in Bend’s downtown Drake Park and follows an engaging hilly course past the city limits into farm and ranch country before cross-ing the Deschutes River at Twin Bridges Road and starting back. Regular riders of the loop like to stop in the quaint town of Tumalo to dip their tired feet and legs in the Deschutes River, get lunch or sip a latte to power them home.
All three of the remaining scenic bike-ways are out-and-back routes starting in Sisters. A 70-mile Sisters to Smith Rock route weaves through a rural countryside to Smith Rock State Park and its impres-sive rock walls. The second McKenzie Pass route of 25 miles takes riders up through deep forests before climbing to the stark volcanic landscape atop the old Mckenzie Pass and the Dee Wright Observatory with views of the Three Sisters volcanic peaks.
The third Metolius River Loop route emanates from Sisters and travels through heavily timbered land to the crystal clear waters of the Metolius River in Camp Sherman. After a stop to refresh at the Camp Sherman Store, riders can follow the river to the Wizard Falls fish hatchery before heading back to Sisters for a 32-mile round trip, finishing with a chocolate stout at Three Creeks Brewery.
Scenic Bikeways
Oregon's offi cial scenic bikeways are the fi rst of their kind in the u.S., and Central Oregon is home to four of the nine Oregon routes.
Summer Weekend
48 HoursThe first of two perfect Central Oregon days begins with an early morning visit to Smith Rock State Park to see the magnificent sheer rock walls and spires come alive with the first rays of the sun. After a hike along the Crooked River, as it flows through the park, there’s lunch on the deck at either the
nearby Terrebonne Depot or at the 7th Street Brew House in Redmond. On to Sisters, for a mountain bike ride on the Peterson Ridge trail system followed by a variety of dining options before a
restful night in a cabin at the nearby eco-resort, FivePine Lodge.
Day two starts in Bend with baked goods on the terrace of McKay Cottage, then a round at the stunning Scottish links-style Tetherow Golf Club. If there’s no golfer in your group, head directly to the Old Mill District with its compel-ling blend of national retailers and local specialty shops. Take lunch outside at Greg’s Grill in the Old Mill and soak in spectacular views of the Cascade
Range. If you’re up for a little river zen, take a leisurely innertube float or stand-up paddle from Riverbend Park to the heart of town. Downtown has many dining options reached on foot, or make a
brewery visit via the CyclePub, a human-powered pedaled pubmobile. Tired and happy, you don’t have far to go to get to downtown’s Oxford Hotel, one of the area’s AAA Four Diamond accommodations.

Golf Guide
WHAT MAKeS the Central Oregon golf experience truly special is not only the variety and value of 30 golf courses within a 45-minute drive of Bend and Sunriver, but the exceptional caliber and diversity of course design. From high-mountain to high desert golf, you won’t find any single track like the next in Central Oregon. With some of the most renowned names in course design, you can be sure of a “bucket list” golf experience in Central Oregon. For many good reasons, Golf Digest named Central Oregon #23 in its “Top 50 Golf Destinations in the World.” Central Oregon courses aren’t short on scenery, with shots that challenge you to carry over deep canyons and the famed Deschutes River; bunkers carved from lava flows and filled with red sand; and fairways framing the majestic Cascade mountains.

From Scottish links-style, to towering Ponderosa-lined fairways, to pristinely manicured resort play… Central Oregon’s courses feature the finest course architects in the world.ber to call “FORE!” when the resident deer, rabbit or bald eagle ventures into the path of your shot.If your quest is to play a course designed by the likes of
Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, David McLay kidd, Bob Cupp, Tom Weiskopf, Peter Jacobsen and Robert Trent Jones, Jr., then you’re in luck.

Local KnowledgeDavid McLay Kidd Course architect
David McLay kidd is at the peak of his profession. Golf World magazine called him the, “hottest architect in golf," given the list of course masterpieces he’s designed around the world. Courses such as Laucala Island Golf Club in Fiji, Bandon Dunes on the Oregon Coast, the TPC Stonebrae Course in Northern
California and now, the design of the Castle Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. Then there’s his Bend creation, Tetherow, that is attracting
players from across the u.S. and abroad.
When friends come to visit, I love to take
them to Tetherow and golf. As the course designer, my local knowl-edge is as good or better
than our great caddies. If you want to beat me at Tetherow, you'd better bring your ‘A’ game. I also love to take friends out on my boat to Lake Billy Chinook. There, we can wakeboard, use tow-ables, swim and picnic.
What I like best about Central Oregon is that, as a Scotsman who spent years in London, there’s reliably
good weather, and it lacks crowds.
Crosswater at Sunriver
Giving Back Via The Ghost TreeTake three days of best-ball golf, mix it up with gourmet dining, danc-ing and music—with proceeds from the event going to charity—and you have the annual Ghost Tree Celebrity Invitational. Participants get to tee it up at Sunriver Resort’s challenging Crosswater course. The name says it all. There’s dinner on the range, a casino night, and silent and celebrity auctions. Winning bidders get to play a round of golf with celebrities.
On The TrailWith 30 courses in the region that make up the Central Oregon Golf Trail, many golfers set their own itinerar-ies that will, over several visits, allow them to play every course. To plan your Central Oregon Golf Trail or custom-ize a destination golf vacation, visit CentralOregonGolfTrail.com or call our vacation planners at 800-800-8334.

Central Oregon Hat TrickIt’s spring, and the region’s golf courses are snow free. yet up at Mt. Bachelor and Hoodoo ski resorts, there’s still tons of snow and the Deschutes and Metolius rivers are prime for fly-fishing. So how about carving a few turns in the morn-ing, playing 18 holes in the afternoon and casting a fly at twilight? This cross train-ing is an abundantly practiced Central Oregon perk. The best part may be when you kick back to sip your favorite Oregon pinot noir or craft brew at the end of a day and just share the day's stories.

Winter AdventureCentral Oregon is a winter sports and recreation paradise. Take your pick from thousands of acres of recreational possibilities in the Cascades.
Cross-Country SkiingLike your trails groomed for skating and classic cross-country skiing? Head to the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center, Virginia Meissner Sno-Park or the Hoodoo Ski Area. If, however, you prefer un-groomed skiing on marked trails, then try one of the region’s 14 Sno-Parks. If making your own path through the forest is the order of the day, almost any place that has snow in the Deschutes National Forest is there waiting to be tracked.
Backcountry SkiingSuperb and among the most accessible in the country, backcountry skiing is just minutes north and northwest of the Mt. Bachelor Ski Area. A slightly longer haul is required to get into some virginal backcountry runs in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, the Three Sisters volcanic peaks from nearby Sisters and Pine Mountain east of Bend.
SnowmobilingThanks to the efforts of regional snowmobiling clubs, there are literally hundreds of miles of groomed and well-marked trails to “sled” throughout Central Oregon. Popular take-off spots include the snowmobile parking and shelter area at Wanoga Sno-Park on Century Drive near Bend, Edison Butte on the road between Mt. Bachelor and Sunriver, the Newberry National Volcanic Monument at La Pine and nearby Hoodoo Ski Area outside of Sisters. Another local favorite is to head from Dutchman Flat along Century Drive and out to Elk Lake Resort.
SnowshoeingWherever there’s snow cover in Central Oregon, there’s an opportunity to snowshoe. Try marked snowshoe routes at Virginia Meissner and Swampy Lakes Sno-Parks off of Century Drive just outside of Bend. These are two main areas where snowshoers can find trails, warming huts and solace in the Deschutes National Forest.

Local KnowledgeRuth Williamsontransition coach and consultant
As reps for alpine ski and apparel companies, Ruth Williamson and her husband, Lou Pepper, were known as a dynamic duo. When they moved to Bend in 1996, they brought that dyna-mism with them. Besides raising a son and a daughter, Ruth has given back to the community through volunteer work, including eight years of elected office as a member of the Bend Metro Park and Recreation District board of directors. In her spare time, she is an active cross-country, alpine and back-country skier with unbridled enthusi-asm for all three disciplines.
When friends visit, I ask them how they want to play. If they want big exercise, we might ski the fantastic community ski trails in and around the Virginia Meissner Sno-Park. If they want to tour, we'll start at Dutchman Flat and head west towards Todd Lake for a picnic, or maybe a skin up favorite “secret” slopes. If they want to ski with their dog, we'll head to Wanoga Sno-Park. Of course, if the powder is fly-ing, we'll be at Mt. Bachelor in the trees.
My favorite thing about Central Oregon is that we're all here for the same rea-sons. I love being at Bachelor on a pow-der day, and run-ning into someone I know from town. We wink and think, “Aren't we the lucky ones?”
SleddingThe place to be for family sledding fun is Wanoga Sno-Park off Century Drive on the way to Mt. Bachelor. There’s ample parking and plenty of room to sled, toboggan or innertube. Bring your own hot chocolate or buy it from the snack trailer in the parking lot. Or head a little farther up to Mt. Bachelor's Snowblast tubing park and snag a day-pass there. In Sunriver, SHARC has its own snow-tubing hill, with three different runs from gentle to bomber fast!
Dog SleddingRegularly scheduled dog sled tours led by qualified guides depart and return to Mt. Bachelor ski area every day when
the resort is open for business. Trail of Dreams, an Iditarod-competing family and their athletic dogs, take guests into parts of the forest many people never get to see. What an amazing way to experience the Central Oregon winter wonderland!
ice SkatingDon't miss The Village in Sunriver or Seventh Mountain Resort near Bend on the way to Mt. Bachelor. Both offer an outdoor winter skating experience that’s fun for your whole family. Drinks are rink-side for your après ski. Or visit the new 4,000-square-foot ice skating rink in downtown Redmond.

Mt. Bachelor
Cascade Perfection
All Around Mt. BachelorFROM THe DAy iT OPeNeD 54 years ago, Mt. Bachelor gained a well-deserved reputation for its deep pow-der, its long season and the incredible vistas north over the Three Sisters Wilderness, west over the High Cascade Lakes region, south towards Crater Lake and Mt. Shasta beyond and east over the high desert country. Mt. Bachelor quickly became known as a cruiser’s delight—a mountain where almost every acre of terrain could be skied by just about anyone.
Over the intervening years, Mt. Bachelor added to its luster by becom-ing one of America’s first ski areas to welcome snowboarders, embrace tele-mark skiing, and install high-speed lifts. The resort was also in the forefront of the cross-country ski boom, adding a groomed trail system in the late 1970s.
Today Mt. Bachelor is the model of a complete snowsports resort. It offers 360-degree lift-served groomed skiing and riding from its volcanic summit. Get off the groomers and there is plenty of untouched gladed tree skiing over Bachelor's 3,683 acres.
A friendly team of Mountain Ambassadors are available to make you feel welcome and safe on the mountain.
If you seek big air and tricks, there are terrain parks for your playground. Good to know that at Mt. Bachelor, kids up to age 12 ski for free (and ride the terrain park) if one of the parents buys a multiday ticket. kids younger than five ski for free all season.
Close to the terrain park is the lift-served Snowblast and Tubing Park where kids of all ages can slide down a groomed runway to their hearts' content and then get pulled back up.
There are two base lodges that offer rentals, instruction, as well as first-rate food and beverage service. up on the hill, Pine Marten Lodge offers a memo-rable ski-in-ski-out respite during a day on the slopes.
Directly across the main parking lot from the tubing park, terrain park and lifts is the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center with 55 kilome-ters of trails groomed for both skate skiing and classic skiing. From its classic log cabin structure, the Nordic Center offers lessons, rentals and a wood-burning stove to cozy up to for a snack and a hot chocolate.

Hoodoo
iN MANy ReSPeCTS, the Hoodoo Ski Area just west of Sisters is a throwback to the days of uncrowded, family-friendly, laid-back ski resorts. Thankfully the resort hasn’t lost that charm even after three high-speed quad lifts, 30 runs and 806 skiable and rideable acres of terrain. Close to the heart of activity, Hoodoo also offers the Easy Rider lift which takes beginning skiers down easy terrain to hone their basic skills. Or hit Hoodoo at night when some of those runs are lit for nocturnal skiers. Anything goes at Hoodoo, including the addition of down-hill snowbikes, or bikes on skis, that are available for rent and a different and fun way to make turns in the snow. There’s also the Autobahn, the ultra-fun innertubing park at the base of the mountain. kids can be happy making laps on the Autobahn all day. If you still need another form of recre-
ation to build up an appetite for lunch

It’s a triple play when it comes to the perfect two-day winter stay in Central Oregon— starting and ending with three distinct experiences.
SistersBased out of Sisters, after a pleasant night’s stay at FivePine Lodge, head to one of the town’s renowned bakeries to start the day. If you're staying at Black Butte Ranch, brew up a cup and lay out some pastries in your vacation rental. After that, head to Hoodoo Ski Area to ski, ride or do a little innertubing down these Cascade slopes.After a morning full of downhill runs,
head back to Sisters for a late lunch or refreshments at the Three Creeks Brewing Company. If you haven't been able to find time to see the latest movie, head next door to the Sisters Movie
House, built inside of a big red barn. If the slopes have gotten the best of you, there's always the Shibui Spa at FivePine Lodge, just a two-minute walk from the theater and brew pub.Day two is exploration day. It begins
in Sisters with a relaxed cross-country ski tour on the Peterson Ridge trail system, a hike around nearby Suttle Lake or an amble along the Metolius River and into Camp Sherman. Try lunch at The Lodge at Suttle Lake.Back in town, it’s time to troll the art
galleries or hit the winter series of the Sisters Folk Festival, where you can find big acts in an intimate setting.
BendIf you're launching from Bend, and staying at The Oxford Hotel, The Riverhouse Resort or the Hilton Garden Inn, try Mckay Cottage or downtown's Alpenglow Café before heading up for a

day of alpine skiing.Those wanting to be a bit closer to Mt.
Bachelor will find a haven at Seventh Mountain Resort, five miles from down-town on the way to the ski area.Legs a bit weary and ready to head
back from the slopes, stop by the Seventh Mountain Resort's Rimrock Bar for après ski or head right to town for a brew and a burger at either 10 Barrel Brewing Company or Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. Lodge. Come evening, Bend has dozens of won-
derful dining options like the venerable Pine Tavern near Mirror Pond in the heart of the city.After dinner, downtown has several
music clubs, regular big-time music acts at the Tower Theatre, wine bars and places to simply sit back and relax after a long day on the mountain.An alternative is to head up Century

Lodging ComfortWhen it comes to your lodging accommodations in Central Oregon, you'll marvel at the choices, the quality and range of prices to fi t your lifestyle and budget. Splurge on a high desert resort family getaway, take it up a notch in town or fi nd something that's tucked away along the Deschutes River for a quiet retreat. In every case, the universe of lodging in Central Oregon is vast and creative.
“The best part of any fall cyclocross event in Bend is that you get a cycling double," notes Bill Everingham of Boise, Idaho, a competitor in the masters class of cyclocross. "you get to race on the cross course and then hit some of the best mountain bike rid-ing on firm dirt and miles of singletrack when you’re not racing." To position himself for the “double,” Everingham stays at the
Seventh Mountain Resort. “From the Resort, it’s a short drive to the races and just a few minutes to be on singletrack trail in the Deschutes National Forest. I also love the get-away-from-it-all feel to the place.”
Eco RetreatSeeing a badge with a name and Sisters as the wearer’s home-town at her college reunion in Connecticut, Alison Vickers remarked, “Oh, that’s the home of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, something on my list of dream to-dos."In 2012, Vickers was finally able to get to Sisters. “It was
extraordinary with all the quilts hung up around town, the workshops and lectures, the whole atmosphere around the event,” she says. Vickers and her husband, Thomas, stayed at the FivePine
Downtown, Indie StyleSan Franciscans and aspiring filmmakers Sarah Johnson and Jerry McGrath try to see as many independently made films as possible. “Because BendFilm has gotten such great reviews in the indie film community and with film-goers in general, we had to come and see for ourselves," says Johnson. She and McGrath chose to stay at McMenamins Old St. Francis School close to the heart of BendFilm’s action.“McMenamin’s has such a great, funky vibe that fits neatly
with the festival, and we could catch screenings there. It's just a five-minute walk to the Tower Theatre for other screenings,” McGrath offers.Just as important, the couple loved being near all the restaurants
bars and nightlife in downtown Bend. “Big surprise," says Johnson, “this town has a lot of great places to hang out and eat."
Fun for Cycling FansCome fall, cyclocross racing becomes a big deal in Bend. National events, regional events and events such as the Halloween Cross Crusade are as much fun for spectators and photographers as they are for riders.

Lodge. "We could walk to the heart of Sisters and all the activities in min-utes, yet felt like we were out in the wilds at FivePine. Having the Three Creeks Brewery and the Sisters Movie House a short walk away was wonder-ful. After way too much time on my feet, the Shibui Spa at FivePine was a blessing.”
Fishing the DeschutesThe Carlsens of Southern California like to vacation where he gets to fly-fish while she gets to soak, spa and swim. “We solved both needs when we decided to try kah-Nee-Ta Resort at Warm Springs," offers Larry Carlsen. "She enjoys the Wanapine Spa, the thermal pools and a day of relaxing, while I fish to my heart’s content.”World-famous waters here hold redside
trout on seldom-fished sections of the nearby Deschutes River and the Warm Springs River.“What works so well for us, is that the
resort has everything we need," he says. "We both unwind, eat well, sleep well and go home happy.”

Destination Resorts
Skiing the Cascades“There were two things that helped us decide to make Central Oregon the destination of our annual family winter snowsports trip," says kay Merrell of Sacramento, California. “First we wanted a ski resort where my husband and I could ski while the kids could work on their trick skills in the pipe. Secondly, we wanted to stay in a place that was close and had more than typical slope-side offerings.”Mt. Bachelor achieved goal one, and
Mount Bachelor Village Resort met goal two.“The best thing about Bachelor is the
variety of terrain," says Merrell. "As for Mount Bachelor Village Resort, having a spacious condo unit where we could cook meals, watch movies, swim, hot tub and relax proved to be ideal and just a short drive to the slopes.”
Yoga Retreat“It was the serenity of the natural setting-the big vistas, the silence, the glowing sunsets over the Cascade Range in the distance, the wildlife that drew me here," says Heather Dixon

after a yoga retreat at Brasada Ranch. “The atmosphere enhanced the two-a-day sessions,” says
Dixon, a television script writer in Los Angeles. “Plus the ranch’s spa and restaurants are exceptional.”Brasada has found well deserved recognition for its golf and
horseback riding. As more people have stayed at the ranch, however, the more it has emerged as a peaceful retreat. “I first came to Brasada as part of a team looking for a quiet place to put the finishing touches on a movie script,” offers Dixon. “Now I come back for yoga and a week of total relaxation and health.”
Reunion for EveryoneWhen it came time to choose a location for a family reunion, Robyn Luchs selected Sunriver. “I picked Sunriver because it has the space needed to accommodate the 21 family members com-ing from New Jersey, South Carolina, Indiana and California. A key element in my decision was the range of activities for both the adults and children, and the variety of luxury accommodations to please our diverse family. We rafted, went to the High Desert Museum, played golf, rode horses, bicycled, fished and, of course, went to the waterpark. We even took a trip down to Crater Lake National Park one day. Of all our family reunions, this was the easiest. The ease of get-
ting everyone to Sunriver, the resort’s fine restaurants, its gro-cery stores, the glorious weather. We hope to do it again, and all the kids are already planning activities for next year’s reunion.”
Fun Family VacationFor Seattleite John kenyon Ellis vacationing at Black Butte Ranch is like coming home. After all, for 30 years his parents owned a home there. That's where they spent every summer, and most Christmases as well. “It was paradise then and still is,” Ellis says, “I now bring my own young family down to experience what makes Black Butte Ranch so wonderful.”Part of that experience is golf, which he played with his
father and brother for many years on both the Glaze and Big Meadow courses. Apart from golf, the Ellis children got in lots of pool time, biked
around the seemingly endless trails and made regular visits to Paulina Springs via the boardwalk pathways. There were family hikes around the property, to the top of
Black Butte, to the headwaters of the Metolius River, dinners at the Lodge, trips to Sisters that included shopping and gallery visits, great coffee and the annual pilgrimage to Jen's Garden, a world-class restaurant.“There’s something in the air here that makes me slow down
and enjoy every minute of the day. It’s special.” Ellis says that the formula for a great time at Black Butte is the same as it always was: “Early golf, lunch, nap, swim, dinner, family games, cool air for a good night's sleep.”

Weddings
LocationCalifornian Chelsea Harding knew exactly what she wanted when it came to planning her wedding. “Location was everything," she says. "My future husband and I wanted a rural setting hopefully with a moun-tain backdrop. Wherever we held the wedding, the location had to be not only spectacular but also easy for all our rela-tives and friends to come to from across the country.”
After an exploratory trip to Central Oregon, Harding found herself in a quandary. “I came looking for a ranch or farm and found all sorts of other spectacular possibilities from destination resorts, to wooded and mountainous plac-es that unexpectedly made my final decision very difficult.”
Finding the perfect place for a wedding party’s needs can be challenging in Central Oregon because of the many gor-geous settings—the embarrassment of riches.
ConvenienceBend native Janet Breyer moved to Denver after college to start her career in telecommunications. There she met her husband-to-be, and once engaged, began planning a June wedding in Bend.
“I settled on the back garden at McMenamin’s Old St. Francis School because several of my family and local rela-tives had attended the former school turned into a brewpub and hotel," notes Breyer. "it was so easy to house people traveling to the wedding in the hotel and cottages. It's loca-
tion in downtown Bend made it easy for our guests to explore Bend.”
Looking back on her wedding at Black Butte Ranch with full views of Mt. Washington and the Three Sisters, Californian Chelsea Harding says wistfully, “it was so perfect. Our guests loved the resort and the set-ting. It certainly made saying ‘I do’ so memorable.”

There’s a demonstration theater where regular cooking programs are conducted for students as well as for the general public. Two days per week, the Institute’s students showcase their talent in public lunches and dinners at Elevation. Reservations are required at elevationbend.com.

Local KnowledgeThor Erikson chef
Thor Erickson grew up cooking,
working alongside his father at
his restaurants. When he set out
on his own, he worked with some
of America’s top chefs, including
Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in
Berkeley, California. Today, Erickson
is a chef instructor at the Cascade
Culinary Institute at Central Oregon
Community College. “My students
use local, sustainable ingredients and
the skills they have learned to add a
superb fine dining venue to Bend’s
culinary scene,” says Erickson.
When friends visit, I love to bring
them to casual restaurants like
Jackson’s Corner and The Sparrow
Bakery, which are fabulous at making
great ingredients shine through cre-
ative culinary technique.
My favorite thing about Central Oregon is its pristine creeks and riv-
ers where I can take my 5-year-old son
fishing for trout, and if we’re lucky,
catch one and cook it
for dinner.

to 10 of Bend's craft brew makers. The ale trail began with eight brewery pub stops, expanded to the current 10, and will increase again in the future as the region’s craft brewing industry continues to grow. Those who choose to travel the trail get maps and passports that, after being stamped at each of the breweries or their brewpubs, allows them to get a reward; a Silipint pint travel cup, for their efforts. An extra bonus is bestowed to those who visit Three Creeks Brewery in Sisters. Making the journey easy and safe are shuttle services (GETIT Shuttle and The Bend Trolley) offering guided trans-portation and private tours and tastings. On the more energetic side, Bend’s Cycle Pub offers human-powered trolleys and a guide to navigate pub-to-pub. you work off a few calories on each leg of the pub ride and then add them back on with a quaff at each stop.
Pizza PleaseFor a slice of pizza to go or stay, there’s plenty to choose from at the hipster quick-stop Pizza Mondo in downtown
Bend. Also try Carino’s Italian in the Cascade Village Mall and Zeppa Bistro at Sunriver Resort. For something a little dif-ferent, try making your own at Flatbread Community Oven in the Old Mill District.
Culinary ToursFor out-of-the-ordinary culinary tours, head out to Maragas Winery in Culver, Bendistillery on the northern edge of Bend or hook up with the Well Traveled Fork in Bend. Farm tours include interest-ing stops such as Pono Farms, Tumalo Farms and Eberhard’s Dairy.
Unique EatsFind the culinary road less traveled with these one-of-a-kind restaurants. The Mexican-Peruvian dishes at Hola! in Bend and Sunriver; Japanese and korean flavors at 5 Fusion & Sushi Bar; the creative surf and turf of Jackalope Grill and 10 Below at The Oxford Hotel in downtown Bend.

NightlifeWhen it comes to late night socializing in Central Oregon, nightlife revolves in and around Bend. There’s a lively bar and pub scene and live music at several club venues. For a hip lounge scene with swanky cocktails, try Level 2 in the Old Mill District. If music is on your mind, look to McMenamins Old St. Francis School where they combine pubs like the Fireside Bar & O’kanes, a restaurant, music stages and a movie theater on one whimsical campus.

OVeR THe PAST two decades, Central Oregon’s communi-ties have embraced the arts and made them an integral part of local life as well as an attraction for visitors. A walk through downtown Bend and the Old Mill District during one of the first Fridays of the month says it all. Paintings, sculptures and photography are on display in galleries, retail shops, offices and on sidewalks. Throngs of people turn out no matter what the weather brings. Musicians on the streets and in the shops enhance the festive atmosphere. Art in the High Desert, a juried outdoor art show in August, is also a great local place to see world-class art.
Beyond Bend’s First Friday Art Walks, summer and fall street festivals in the region feature fantastic works of art. Notably, the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show has become an internationally famous event, attracting quilt makers from around the globe to show off their works outdoors throughout the town. The quilt show also includes seminars and workshops for quilters.
On permanent display in the art scene, The Museum at Warm Springs in the town of the same name features one of the finest collections of Native American art and artifacts in the West. 2013 marks the Museum's 20th Anniversary where

a special exhibit of works by the late Apolonia Susana Santos, accomplished artist and avid activist for the Native Arts, will be displayed in honor of this landmark year. Make this part of any of your Central Oregon cultural itineraries.
Focusing on the flora, fauna and pioneer history of Central Oregon, the High Desert Museum south of Bend combines indoor dioramas, outdoor displays featuring birds of prey and live demonstrations of everyday pioneer life. A must-stop for families, the museum is also noted for presenting the best in contemporary landscape painting and photography.
Moving from art to music, Central Oregon runs the gamut. For big-concert lovers, the Les Schwab Amphitheater along the Deschutes River in Bend presents national and interna-tional acts.
The Athletic Club of Bend also showcases top-name acts for its summer series of evening outdoor concerts. Redmond hosts a summer concert series as well, featuring well-established and up-and-coming regional musicians. A quick check of the local media when in Central Oregon reveals a lively music scene at local clubs year-round.

events such as the regular Pickin’ and Paddlin’ concerts on the lawn at Tumalo Creek kayak and Canoe in Bend's Old Mill District.
The center stage of folk music in Central Oregon is the annual Sisters Folk Festival, which deftly combines big-name acts with neophytes to the scene. Held September 6-8, the event features a number of indoor and outdoor venues throughout Sisters.
In the classical music genre, mark your calendars for August 4-21 and the Sunriver Music Festival. Within Sunriver Resort's dramatic, giant-log-beamed Great Hall, enjoy classical pops and cover bands of The Beatles.
While in Sunriver, take an educational jaunt to the Oregon Observatory and Sunriver Nature Center for constellations and owls.

Local KnowledgePaul Alan Bennett artist
Following graduation from art school
in Baltimore, Maryland, Paul Alan
Bennett headed to Greece where he
made and taught art for six years.
That was followed by a stint as an
instructor/artist in Portland during
which he met his wife-to-be at a con-
ference at Suttle Lake near Sisters.
“She was teaching art at Central
Oregon Community College, so I decid-
ed it would be best for me to move to
Sisters to be with her”, says Bennett.
Twenty-two years later Bennett
remains a teacher and artist known
for his sophisticated folk art style
much of which is a “personal diary.”
When friends visit and either the
Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show or the
Sisters Folk Festival are in progress,
we take them there. Otherwise, we’ll
take a tour of the local art galleries
and walk the First Friday art events.
My favorite thing about Central
Oregon is the great outdoors. There’s
just so much to do year-round
if you enjoy hiking, skiing,
camping, outdoor pho-
tography or just walking
around places such
as Bend’s
Old Mill
District.

place at Bend’s Community Theater of the Cascades (CTC).
When not hosting music events, CTC offers a full schedule of dramas, comedies and musicals. So too with Bend’s Second Street Theater.
Offering its own mix of theater, film, music and lectures, the historic Tower Theatre is the crown jewel of downtown Bend. The theater also serves as the host location during the annual BendFilm Festival weekend that celebrates indepen-dent film and filmmakers.
And as the region’s creative commu-nity expands and evolves, so too does its farmers markets. Bend hosts three dis-tinct markets from May until October—one in the heart of downtown, one on
the grounds of St. Charles Medical Center and a third in Bend’s NorthWest Crossing neighborhood. Redmond holds a regular Thursday evening farmers market. All of these markets, taken together, promote Central Oregon’s farm-to-table culture and enhance regional livability.
While on an agricultural theme, try Maragas Winery’s old-fashioned annual grape crush in September. Purple hands are the signs of a true vintner. Chef Bette Fraser also offers culinary tours and classes through her Well Traveled Fork enterprise.
From art and music to agriculture and farmers markets, Central Oregon is a hopping cultural scene with spectacular scenery.

MASSAGe, FACiALS, and hand and foot therapy. While Central Oregon has become an outdoor recreation mecca, so too is it known for its relaxation oases. The region is now central to a bevy of spas that specialize in pampering—many of these in spectacular natural surroundings.
Located east of Bend near Powell Butte, the Brasada Ranch Spa offers a wide range of services in a tranquil setting with superb views out towards the snow-capped Cascade Range. Spa guests are privy to a hot tub and pool before and after their treatments—all in the setting of the high desert. The seaweed body wrap or lemongrass mimosa body scrub are two intoxicat-ing indulgences to schedule.
With a similarly inspiring setting, the Sage Springs Club and Spa at Sunriver sets the standard for a relaxing spa experience at the otherwise bustling resort. After a day on the slopes of Mt. Bachelor or on one of the area's golf courses, settle into a High Desert Nirvana package of massage and facial or the trifecta of the Three Sisters Renewal—a massage, facial and pedicure.

If you are in the mood for high desert culture and repose, head to Spa Wanapine in Warm Springs, where the spring’s natural hot waters are a key element in the offerings. After a full-body massage unwind with a mineral soak.
Back in Bend, there are several exquisite spas to choose from including Spa W, Jinsei Spa and Anjou Spa. As its names con-notes, Jinsei has Far Eastern touches. Anjou prides itself as a "green" spa.
Jinsei Spa brings a worldly menu of massages to Bend that stretch from Indonesian massage, to Indian head massage, tradi-tional Thai massage, and yin-yang couples massage alongside a fireplace and a glass of pear sake.
Anjou Spa and Salon takes its "green" mission serious. All of its products are all-natural and organic. Its services such as organic facials and non-toxic nail polish for mani-pedis are just a couple of examples of its sustainability.

In this zen den in the forest a contemplative 121-year-old Buddha sits among many tantalizing treat-ments. Think of your time here as a spiritual retreat enhanced by special therapies such as the Ayurvedic Lotus Dream (a hot oil rhythmic massage), Shirodhara (warm oil poured over the forehead for healing) and Crystal therapy (deploying crystals to release energy).
Local KnowledgeLaura Cooper physical therapist
Watching the explosion of interest in
yoga throughout Central Oregon, physical
therapist Laura Cooper introduced thera-
peutic yoga to her clients. “There were so
many people asking for it and wanting to
integrate it into their lives that I had to get
involved,” she says.
A native Oregonian and former
university of Oregon cross-country and
track runner, Cooper met her husband
(also a physical therapist) in graduate
school at the university of Montana.
They moved to Bend 14 years ago and
now have two kids.
When friends are visiting, the Coopers
take them mountain biking or stand-up
paddling in the warm months. “It doesn’t
take much time to get to some peace-
ful quiet natural setting or to a hub
of outdoor sports activity,” she notes.
The diversity of recreational
options in Central
Oregon keeps the
Coopers constantly
outdoors, pedal-
ing and paddling
into their next
adventure.

AS MuCH AS Central Oregon is noted nationwide for its outdoor recreation and fitness options, so too is the region becoming known for its indoor offerings from yoga to Pilates, weight training, zoomba, water aerobics as well as senior-oriented weight and aerobic training.
yoga and a variety of different versions of the ancient art have worked its way deeply into Central Oregon’s core health culture. Per capita, the region boasts an unusually high ratio of private studios and public venues to the number of participants.
Offering yoga along with a diverse selection of fitness classes and indoor fitness apparatus are Bend Athletic Club, Juniper Swim and Fitness Center (Bend), the Sisters Athletic Club, Sunriver Homeowners Aquatic and Recreation Center (SHARC) and Maverick's at Sunriver.
For a complete yoga immersion, try retreating to destination resorts FivePine Lodge in Sisters or Brasada Ranch outside of Bend. Both resorts offer comprehensive packages in tranquil and bucolic settings.
With many public and private pools in the area, swimming is making a big splash in Central Oregon. Bring your suits, goggles and towels, and dive in on the
lap and recreational swimming sessions. Of note is the Juniper Swim and Fitness Center with its 50-meter outdoor pool (domed in winter for four-season use) and its indoor 25-meter pool. The outdoor pool and kids water recreational park are new additions that are summer favorites.
kah-Nee-Ta Resort boasts a 184-foot slide into its hot springs mineral pool that is twice the size of an Olympic pool and is cooled in the summer and heated in the fall.

We love our sun here but Central Oregon has one of the highest rates of new melanoma diagnoses in the country. Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer.
Babies and children are much more sensitive to sun than adults. Just one blistering sunburn in childhood more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma later in life.
Stay covered. Apply sunscreen generously and often, wear protective clothing and avoid excessive sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
For more information about protecting your family from skin cancer, please contact St. Charles Family Care in Bend at 541-706-4800 or visit StCharlesHealthCare.org.

Relocation
There are myriad reasons to move to Central Oregon but for simplicity’s sake, let’s narrow it down to an easy eight.
Central
HomesteadOregon
Parks Galore The area’s parks come in fourth. They are world-class yet not overrun. Regional parks offer anyone a respite from a hectic day and a safe place to play with kids..
All the Extras Fifth would be the region’s amenities. Today, the region boasts first-class dining, a much-heralded craft beer and brewpub culture, a vibrant art communities, world-class entertainment and easy access to the rest of the country with good airline connections through a hassle-free airport.
People Here you'll find as friendly and safe a community as can be found anywhere in America.
Family Central Oregon is a great place to raise children with its excellent schools and lots of kid-friendly recreational activities.
Best in Medicine Finally, there is an unrivaled local medical community noted throughout the West for providing the best in care. Top docs are drawn to Central Oregon’s climate, mountains and way of life.
Perfect Location First is the region’s location midway between the Cascade Range to the west and the vast expanse of the high desert to the east. This setting offers the best of both mountain and desert landscapes and all their recreational opportunities.
Quality of Life Second is the pace of life. Things move a bit more slowly here. Stress is minimal, with short commutes by car or bike. There’s clean air and water, and people take time to get to know their neighbors.
Outdoor Paradise Recreation ranks within the top three. Within minutes from your home in Central Oregon, you can snowshoe, and cross-country, alpine or backcountry ski in the mountains. At lower elevations in the mild high desert winter, you can ride a bike or even golf. Come spring, summer and fall, there’s rafting, stand-up paddling, recreational kayaking, golf, spin and fly-fishing, mountain biking and road cycling, trail running and hiking just minutes away.

Home Grown Ashton EatonOlympic gold medalist
Beginning his life in track and field, Bend's
Ashton Eaton went on to become the
world's best athlete. In August, Eaton
won the 2012 Olympic gold medal in the
decathlon. The 24-year-old captivated
audiences around the globe, but he is
Bend's very own home-grown talent.
Born to athletic parents, Eaton loved a
variety of sports when young. Once he
entered Mountain View High School,
Eaton was urged to focus on track and
field. He did and eventually won both the
state 400-meter and long jump titles.
On the advice of his high school coaches,
Eaton concentrated on becoming a
decathlete while attending and competing
for the university of Oregon.
Eaton clinched his spot on the Olympic
Team as he set a world record in the
competition at the u.S. Olympic Trials in
Eugene. Next came his stun-
ning triumph at the
London Games, which
earned him a gold
medal and, later,
a parade in his
honor in down-
town Bend on
returning home.
