[music] When some people think of Bend, they dream about its endless outdoor opportunities.
Others think about the possibilities that come from visiting a hip, urban oasis.
So which Bend is the real Bend? Well, the answer is… yes.
You see, Bend is more than any one thing. It’s a playground. It’s a respite. It’s
a place to meet your friends, and it’s a place to find solitude. It’s culture and
canyons, mountains and microbrews.
It’s a place where you can find some of the most spectacular scenery in Oregon.
Where you can ride at the 6th largest ski resort in the country in the winter, and raft
endless miles of the Deschutes River in the summer.
Where the world’s best athletes both come to visit and call home.
Where any activity that can be done outside is done, and quite possibly done better than
anywhere else in the country.
And yet, it’s also a place where even the most sophisticated city dwellers feel comfortable.
Where shoppers can find an eclectic mix of brand names retailers, funky boutiques, creative
cuisine and the epicenter of microbrewing in the Northwest, all just steps from the
river.
And where special events all year long make every day a reason to celebrate.
With everything from boutique hotels in the heart of downtown to vacation resorts minutes
from the mountain, you’ll never be too far away from where you want to be most.
And an inspiring mix of meeting venues gives new meaning to the word motivation.
So which is it? The fresh air of a powder day, or the fresh air of an outdoor café?
When you visit Bend, your inspiration is up to you.
