What's For Lunch?One member of your crew wants coffee, but another wants beer. Someone craves cookies, and another would kill for cocoa and bagels. Everyone’s happy with a stop at The Commons in downtown Bend.
See the MenuNo Bend experience is complete without a riverfront stroll in Bend’s iconic Drake Park. Bring a blanket to laze in the grass and watch geese paddling along. Ahh...bliss.
We’ve learned some lessons from COVID-19. Be kind and thoughtful of others. Help tend the wild places that soothe our souls. Support small businesses and be patient and generous with those struggling. Above all, plan ahead, and plan for your plans to change. Need a wilderness permit for your Bend adventure? How about plan A, B, C, and Z in case a trailhead is full? Extra hand sanitizer and spare face mask? Bring it all, along with your very best self, when you’re in Bend.
