Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts simply can't go wrong when choosing Bend, Oregon, for their Memorial Day getaway. The city is perhaps best known for winter sports, but there is also a wide variety of enticing summer activities on offer. Hikers have many brilliant trails to choose from ranging from under 2 miles to over 11 miles, all set against stunning mountain and lake backdrops. Beer lovers may like to attempt the Bend Ale Trail, where your hiking efforts are rewarded by regular beer tastings. You can keep the entire family busy exploring lava tubes, caving, kayaking, and playing mini-golf. In addition, the Sun Mountain Fun Center provides hours of indoor fun if the weather is less than perfect.
