Ski in the morning, kayak in the afternoon—that’s the beauty of spring in Bend! 🏔️🛶 It’s a wild time of year when you might huddle by your hotel fire pit on a crisp evening, then crank the a/c on your way to tomorrow’s canoe tour. There’s still plenty of snowshoeing and skiing to be found, but it’s also when countless trails start thawing and those sweet desert wildflowers spring up along lava-edged paths.
Winter in Bend means endless opportunities for outdoor fun! ❄️ Whether you’re a thrill-seeker on the backcountry trails or a snow angel-making pro, our landscapes offer the perfect setting.

TGIF 🥳 This weekend, do you plan to wait in lift lines or wade ’n’ cast a line? Winter fly fishing in Bend switches things up with the dropping temperatures and snow flurries.
