Central Oregon
Located just east of the Cascade Mountain range, Central Oregon is known for its charming local coffee shops, boutiques, microbreweries and incredible restaurants. Bend, the largest city in Central Oregon, is also recognized as the mecca for outdoor enthusiasts on the west coast. Be it running, mountain biking, rock climbing or even paddle boarding, you can sign up for a race or competition nearly any weekend throughout the year. Add to that, a variety of festivals and concerts, floating through downtown on the Deschutes River, some of the best fly fishing in the nation, late spring skiing or the vibrant local night life, and you’ve got yourself a town that any vacationer will be sad to leave while locals pinch themselves to make sure they aren’t dreaming.
