Review:
Bend is a West Coast honeymoon destination, renowned for its spectacular natural beauty and dramatic terrain that provides a wealth of activities throughout the year. Outdoor adventurers and wilderness-lovers gravitate to the small mountain town to soak up its alluring surroundings. Nestled between the foothills of the Cascades Mountains in Oregon, Bend offers easy access to a diverse choice of activities.
Whether you are looking to climb mountains, ski down slopes, hike amazing trails, or mountain bike down rugged paths, there is something for everyone. The slopes of the majestic Mt. Bachelor provide powdered perfection for skiers and snowboarders, while South Sister offers a challenging summit climb for both amateurs and professionals.
Deschutes River and its tranquil mountain lakes offer excellent rafting, kayaking and canoeing. Miles of backcountry trails are a hiking and mountain-biking heaven, while the legendary Bend Ale Trail is the largest beer trail in the west.
When you have had enough action, soak in one of the many spas, catch an art exhibit, visit museums and learn about the history of the area, or dine on award-winning cuisine at one of the many excellent restaurants in town.
