Bend
"Bend has been dubbed the outdoor playground of the West for a thousand good reasons, but there’s more to this magical place than outdoorsy fun. 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. Playing in the Cascades, hiking, mountain biking, or skiing at Mt. Bachelor are just a few of the outdoor adventures you can tackle in a weekend or a week. There is also the Deschutes River that runs through out the town and surrounding areas, The High Desert Museum, Multiple Craft Breweries, Exciting Downtown Bend, Golf resorts, Cascade Lakes, Smith Rock, the choices are endless." from visitbend.com
