This is one of our favorite cities for outdoor adventures. We love that there are so many rad hikes to choose from, plus, the mountain biking and rock climbing near here is some of the best in the world. A trip to Bend wouldn't be complete without sampling its many breweries and farm-to-table restaraunts.
