slopes of the Cascade Mountains. Bend covers 32

Bend is the outdoor recreation capitol of Oregon,
with snow-capped peaks dominating the skyline. Bend
is one of few places that visitors can literally
ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon. Known

inches of precipitation per year. That compares
to 42" for Portland, 36" for Seattle and 20" for
San Francisco. Bend and Central Oregon are easily
accessible via highways, railways, regional, national
and international air service networks. Bend is
Oregon's Playground, with snow-capped peaks dominating
the skyline, pristine rivers, and dramatic falls.
Located in the center of Oregon where the sun shines
and the fun happens! Bend has a wide variety of
activities for all ages to enjoy. Bend is an outdoor
recreational playground with plenty of sight seeing.
