Рет қаралды 156,581
Күн бұрынHello from one of our FAVORITE cities in the Pacific Northwest…Bend, Oregon! Bend is located in Central Oregon and is a year round outdoor playground, with the epic Cascade Mountains nearby, volcanic history, snow activities, hiking trails, lakes, rivers, and so much MORE!
We first visited Bend back in September 2018 and fell in love with the area. And we are so pumped to have partnered with Visit Bend to experience Bend in a new season for us…spring!

Bend to me is shopping, all these other places are Central Oregon. We usually skip the Old Mill District now, because it's expensive and over crowded. Fun fact: If you go North of Terrebonne and turn at Haystack reservoir, you can drive to an old homestead/apple orchard and park on the Northside of Grey Butte. Hike to the top and into Smith Rock. No crowds or paying to park. Pine Ridge is also back there and is the coolest surprise at the top. Also if you don't like crowds eat in Culver or Madras and go to Lake Billy Chinook or Lake Simstusus. They are both worth seeing at least once in your life time.

there is also a ski mountain there called Mt Bachelor. An awesome mountain with many ski runs and one you can ski the most vertical in a day of most any other mountain. All lifts are high speed detachable. From top to bottom is around 3K feet and can ski it none stop. It is a true cone volcano. The top is often closed due to extremely violent weather in the Winter but for Spring skiing, a great place to go. Just an FYI for skiers watching this. Thanks for a great tour of Bend which, I agree, is a wonderful town and an outdoor enthusiast dream.

Those hiking trails through the volcanic rocks with the snow dotted about was stunning and so unusual! I've never snowshoed before and its certainly an activity on my bucket list I really enjoyed watching you guys on the Swampy Lakes trail - all of the shots were so magical and I'm a big fan of the warming huts. I'd just assumed they were a shelter from the elements so was surprised to see a fire in there! My favourite thing from this video though was the Smith Rock State Park - those rocks were fantastic. Like yourselves, I'd far rather hike around then rather than go rock climbing, feels like more of an adventure that way. But the waterfalls were a close 2nd favourite, they were stunning 😍 completely agree about it being better when it's snowy! Kathryn, I love your taste in movies - How to Loose A Guy in 10 Days is just awesome. When I moved into my uni halls of residence (a bit like your dorms) in my 1st year, on the first day, the girl in the room next door to me aske if I wanted to watch that movie with her and it eradicated so much of the worry and home sickness.

I could live in Bend easily. We went to Smith Rock on our Oregon road trip last year and it was absolutely beautiful. Like you, we spent the earlier part of the day in a snowstorm, then traveled east a little bit and were in the high desert where it was dry and sunny. Such a change in climate! Really loved Smith Rock. We were there around sunset and it seemed like every photo I took there was amazing. You just can't take a bad photo there!

It is a very liveable town! There is so much to do, see, and eat you’d never get bored! And yes the variable climate just from driving from one side of town to the other is a nice perk!

Very pretty area. Bend reminds me of Flagstaff alot, just a lower elevation Flagstaff. Thanks for showing me something new! I have heard of Bend, but knew nothing about it other then being a brewery town. Travel safe!

We just visited Bend and really enjoyed it. Your vids helped us decide what to do since we are road tripping too. We followed a lot in your footsteps. Oddly, our best day was at Steelhead Falls because it was our 1 yr. old dog’s first swimming experience. We loved how pet friendly Bend was. Thanks for including historical content, food, and outdoor experiences. Bonta gelato was amazing! And… we also really liked Kanona Cafe (try it next time). What an excellent latte I had there. Love you guys and Kona. 👏

Oh that's awesome to hear! We're glad you had a great trip! Ya know we aaalmost went out to Steelhead Falls, but didn't for some reason. It's on our list for next time! I bet that was a ton of fun for y'all and your pup! Bonta is so good, huh?! We drove by Kanona a bunch and really wanted to go so we'll make sure to do that! Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!

We have been through Bend numerous times as we have family in Yakima, WA. Your video is proof we need to slow down and spend a few days seeing the place. Our experiences include a few motels, a Walmart parking lot (boondocking in our first motor home and few restaurants. It has always been a great place to visit. I have thought that the next time we are up that way we should stop at Smith Rock State Park. It looks beautiful.
@AdventuresofAplusK 2 жыл бұрын
Oh Bend is worth at least a few days stop! There are a few boondocking spots that are just outside of town that will be a bit more scenic than Walmart. We stayed at the Oregon Badlands for most of our time there and it was quiet and peaceful. And yes Smith Rock should be one of the top things you check out! It’s a must visit. Thanks, Ray!
