![I had never heard of Bend, Oregon until I noticed some friends were traveling and moving thereā¦ so I knew I had to check it out. [in partnership with @visitbend]
We had been traveling in our truck camper for about 6 weeks, moving around every 1-3 nights, and we felt exhausted. So when we arrived in Oregon, we decided to stay in one place for a week to rest and recharge.
And once we arrived in Bend, that week-long stay quickly stretched to 17 days, because we were having too much fun to leave.
Bend is an outdoorsy personās paradise - a place where you can run, hike, paddle, float, bike, climb, and so much more.
And when youāre hungry after adventuring, the food scene has so much to offer - from casual bites at food truck lots to finer dining.
We love this town and have already talked about coming back. Save this post to bookmark our list of spots, and if youāre a local, leave a note with some of your favs that we missed!
Where we stayed:
š @sunoutdoorsbend - RV park minutes from the heart of Bend
š we also stayed right on the Deschutes River in a @vrbo on our first night and got to kayak on a calm, quiet river as the sun rose
Where we ate:
š© @ohmygoodness.bakery donut pop-up
š» @thelotbend - taproom and food trucks on Bendās west side (@alacartebend for shrimp tacos and @burgzndogz for hot dogs)
š @midtown_yacht_club - more food trucks! We had pizza from @chasinpizzas, sushi from @northfreshsushi, a hot dog from @alleydogzfoodcart, and a cheesesteak from @bread.and.bunny
š½ļø A dinner date at @dearirenebend Downtown
š„Æ bagel sandwiches for breakfast and lunch at @bosbagelsbend
š¹ mocktails and snacks from @theflamingoroombend
What we did:
šāāļø trail running along the Deschutes, with many trails to explore right from the heart of the city
š£āāļø kayaking with @wanderlusttours off of the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway
š„¾ Hiking at Tamolitch Falls Blue Pool, Smith Rock State Park, and Tumalo Falls
šļø ATV tour with @octaneadventuresco
šāš¦ŗ doggy shopping spree at @ruffwearās retail store
āļø cold and hot plunge at @fluxloungebend
