High Desert Museum
The High Desert Museum engages visitors in the people, plants, and animals of the arid Intermountain West, also known as the High Desert. It includes nearly 53,000 square feet of exhibits and amenities in the main building, while paved outdoor trails wind through acres of exhibits and animal habitats. Live animal interpretations and living history demonstrations are presented regularly.
Pilot Butte State Scenic Viewpoint
Come and explore an old cinder cone located just east of Bend. Hike up and around on one of three trails. The trails wind through stands of juniper and sage. All of the trails lead to the summit. Once at the top, get ready for a grand panoramic view of the high desert.
Tumalo State Park
Nestled in the heart of sunny central Oregon, Tumalo rests along Oregon's spectacular Deschutes River. The campground is simultaneously close enough to the town of Bend to make an quick jaunt to the grocery store, but far enough away to escape the commotion. Its location makes it an ideal stepping stone for any type of outdoor activity you could possibly dream of: lush green golf courses, clear blue-ribbon trout steams, pristine alpine lakes, miles upon miles of challenging yet scenic hiking and mountain bike trails, and of course the Cascade Mountains are all within easy reach.
