Bend, Oregon
Named for the graceful bend in the Deschutes River, Bend is a town defined by its geography. Nestled on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains, securely in the rain shadow, Bend enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year. At a population of 70,000 Bend draws outdoor enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, families looking to escape the big city, and retirees who want to spend their golden years on the sunny side of the Cascades. The high desert climate brings four distinct seasons with less than 12 inches of precipitation a year — a hot, dry Summer with cool nights, a crisp, clear Fall, a cold, snowy Winter, and a green, sunny Spring. What was once a historic, rustic logging town is now a quaint, but sophisticated, town in the midst of an outdoor mecca. So, whether your forte is skiing, golfing, fishing, dining, art, music festivals or simply enjoying the peace, tranquility, and extraordinary views, Bend is a superb location. [Top 10 Attractions]
