Bend is nestled between the breathtaking Cascade mountains to the west and the arid desert to the east. The iconic Deschutes river meanders its way through the community and adds to the stunning scenery. With a semi-arid climate, you will experience all four seasons, including plenty of sun, snow, and blue skies.
