What’s Your Favorite Bend Adventure?
So many options! But the one I love the most is taking a trail run on the Deschutes River. It’s close to town, convenient and absolutely stunning.
What’s Your Favorite Dining Spot?
I love Japanese food and Bend-O Bento is my favorite restaurant. It is by no means fancy, but it’s authentic in every way – from the food to the service. It was started by three Japanese women to raise money for Japan’s tsunami relief, but was so good, that customers asked them to keep it open as a business. It is only open for lunch during the week, so plan accordingly.
Best Piece Of Advice For First Time Visitors To Bend?
The fall season in Bend is just as good as summer and winter. Up until late November, the weather can still be great. Come hang out with the locals at the many festivals and outdoor adventures.
