Things to do: Summertime Fun in and around Bend!:
Fall in the high desert is all about the outdoors during the day and cozy evenings at home by the fire. The Downtown Bend's Farmer's Market goes every Wednesday through Oct 14 in Mirror Pond Park. The Old Mill District is where you will find the Les Schwab Amphiteater which sponsors free concerts in June, July and August; along with paid concerts. Check Bend Concerts for the entertainment schedule. The Old Mill District is a nice area for shopping, dining, and movies, too!
Interested in cycling? Bend is this years site of the National Cyclocross Championships; scheduled for Dec 10-23th. Of course, there are many areas in and around Bend to go cycling.
Things to do: Like to Play Golf?:
Central Oregon is a golfer's paradise! Some have called the region the 'Palm Springs of the North'. In the fall, golfing is unhurried and much less crowded. You can go 15-30 minutes north or south of our house and find several wonderful and challenging golf courses. This year, Jeld-Wen is holding the Jeld-Wen Tradition at Crosswater Club at Sunriver Resort. The dates are August 17-23. This is a nationally televised Pro-Am Champions Tour Golf Tournament and draws many Pro Golfers. There are several local tournaments, too. If you are interested, email us and we can forward you the information.
Fishing + Hiking:
Central Oregon is known as an 'Angler's Paradise'! There are so many places to experience fishing! We can email you info, relevant websites, etc. Honestly, a wonderful getaway for the fisherman!
Hiking is Central Oregon's middle name in the summer time! There are so many unspoiled and uncrowded spots, really close to our home. Marvel at the beauty of Smith Rock, check out the back country of the Three Sister's Wilderness area...tons of places to go!
