The first day of spring arrived this week with a fanfare of sparkly white confetti flying at Mt. Bachelor.

Just 20 minutes down the hill in Bend, daffodils are poking their heads through the dirt and admiring the bare-legged trail runners out relishing in the warmer days of spring.

In other words, it’s the best of both worlds in Bend right now, making spring the perfect time for a visit. To celebrate, we’d like to share our brand new spring video with you:

Visit Bend – Share Bend Spring from Visit Bend on Vimeo.

Now, here’s the really fun part. The video you just watched highlights some super-fun stuff to do in the springtime in Bend, so we’ve put together a prize package that includes a bunch of it. Here’s what we’re giving away:

• Three days and two nights of lodging at the Oxford Hotel in Downtown Bend Oregon.
• $100 for dining at Tim Garling’s Jackalope Grill.
• Two lift tickets to ride/ski Mt. Bachelor.
• One full-day, guided climbing trip for two at Smith Rock State Park with Chockstone Climbing Guides.
• $50 to spend at Worthy Brewing.

The total package is worth about $1,100, and would make for a pretty killer spring getaway, wouldn’t you say?

Let’s give it away!

In the spirit of sharing highlighted in the video, we’d like you to share your own Bend bucket list. If you’re short on ideas, check out www.visitbend.com.
