A quick hike up for a 360 degree view of the high desert
In Bend for the day? Don't have time to get out and take advantage of all the surrounding area? Give Pilot Butte a try! It's a quick mile each way from the base to the summit, short enough that there's a kiosk showing the trail running times to get to the top. Once you reach the top, there are views of all the Oregon Cascades and the surrounding...
Nice hike or bike ride around the rim of this Bend area park

This short drive up this 4,500 foot Butte that sits above the Lava Lands Visitor Center
This guide will take you up Lava Butte and to the Lava Lands Visitor Center in Newberry Crater National Monument. There is a great visitor center to explore and a short interpretive trail you can take. The geology of the area is really fascinating. Instead of trying to explain it all here I will leave it to the interpretive signs and the visitor...
Fly-fishing and mountain biking, side by side for miles and miles...
Like all the other sections of the Deschutes River Trail, the mile or so from Aspen to Big Eddy are a mix of willow flats, raging rapids, slow meanders, and higher ridges. It's a great little out and back hike, but for the full effect, team it up with the sections upstream or downstream for a longer hike.
Waterfalls, rapids, wildlife, and a rugged volcanic landscape!
The Deschutes River Trails offers lots of access and miles of trail for anyone willing to drive a few miles out of town. This section won't disappoint!
Loop trail past Tumalo Falls, Doulble Falls, Upper Falls, North Fork Falls and Spring Creek Falls
The viewpoint for Tumalo Falls is a few steps from the parking lot or a short trail to the top. The top is a must worth the 5 minute walk. The 89 foot fall along Tumalo Creek is one of the tallest and most beautiful waterfalls in Central Oregon. The area around the falls experienced a forest fire 25 years ago. The USFS has developed viewpoints both...
A short hike to this beautiful 97 foot waterfall along Tumalo Creek just outside of Bend, Oregon
This is a short 2 mile hike to two beautiful waterfalls on Tumalo Creek beneath Broken Top Mountain. The first one you encounter is the largest at 97 feet while the 2nd (Double Falls) drops 30 and then 20 feet with about a mile in between. You can hike further up Tumalo Creek for more smaller waterfalls if you have time. If you get here late, don't...
A short walk through a lava field that has left behind impressions of old trees.
This is a cool little trail that takes you through a lava flow. As the lava flowed around trees it left casts/holes of where the tree was. Formed approximately 7,000 years ago when hot molten lava flowed from the nearby Newberry Volcano, the landscape holds lava casts of the ancient trees that were growing there at the time. Over the years, Ponderosa...
