Mt. Bachelor Compass


Mt. Bachelor Compass was made by Steve Jensen in 2002. Heading down Century Drive after a day on the slopes or at the lakes, Mt. Bachelor Compass is the first piece to welcome you back to Bend. But don’t set your compass by these gleaming brushed aluminum letters. the “S” has been shifted slightly to keep it out of the path of wayward cars. True north? Not so much. Truly beautiful? Absolutely!!
