Gay Bend

Bend, Ore.

Bend, the hub of Central Oregon, is a haven for nature lovers, with winter ski resorts on Mt. Bachelor and summer hiking and white water rafting. In the warmer months, Central Oregon gets lots of sunshine, unlike the city of Portland that is a few hours' drive northwest. Besides outdoor activities, beer is big in Bend, as the city has numerous microbreweries.
