Once a bustling mill town on the Deschutes River, Bend has transformed from sawdust and smokestacks to one of the West’s most celebrated outdoor destinations. The Old Mill District still carries the echoes of its past, now home to shops, breweries, and riverfront trails. Just minutes from downtown, Mt. Bachelor offers endless powder turns, while the Deschutes River invites paddleboarding, floating, and riverside strolls. Summer and winter alike bring opportunities for hiking, biking, climbing, and alpine lake adventures. Downtown Bend hums with energy, from the weekly Farmers Market to seasonal festivals, the quirky Pet Parade, and award-winning craft beer trails. Visitors play a key role here, helping maintain trails, river access, and cultural programs. In Bend, history, adventure, and community come together to create a city where every day is an outdoor celebration. #AmericasFavoriteSmallTowns
