A favorite hike of ours and only an hour and a half drive from Brasada Ranch. There are multiple routes you can take to make it as long or as short of a hike as you want. The waterfalls should be flowing at this time. The trail goes along the McKenzie River, a beautiful hike all around!
Another beautiful waterfall and only an hour drive from Brasada Ranch. Tumalo Falls is a short walk from the parking lot with views from below and above. This is another hike you can make as long or as short as you want.
Looking for a longer hike? Green lakes trail is just over 9 miles long. The terrain is not difficult, there is not much elevation gain, and you get the best of both worlds, mountain views and alpine lakes! Day use permits are required, so plan in advance at recreation.gov.
A great 5.5 mile hike with elevation. Only an hour and a half drive from Brasada Ranch. This hike gets you up close views of Broken Top and The Three Sisters Mountains.
Only a 30 minute drive from Brasada Ranch, Smith Rock has multiple trails to hike.
We might hype this place up too much, but Bo's is a must stop for us every time we visit Bend. We recommend the house chicken sandwich, spicy version and always the fries. (We are not affiliated but feel like we should be).
Best Thai in Bend! We recommend making reservations to secure a table.
The best tacos and margs in town!
Our favorite pizza restaurant!
Great beer and great, large patio!
