Region & Climate
Bend is nestled between the eastern side of the Cascades and the high desert, so it is a dry, high-desert climate with generally moderate days and cool nights. Located at 3,623’ above sea level, it’s just 175 miles from Portland, 22 miles from Mount Bachelor and 15 miles from Roberts Field Redmond airport (RDM), and the town is surrounded by public lands allowing for endless outdoor recreation.
Generally, the mornings and evenings average between 30F-40F. However, as soon as the sun peeks out, the temperatures steadily climb throughout the day. Temperatures rarely stay above 90F and below 35F for any duration of time. Locals have learned the art of wearing layers. A jacket or fleece is a must but make sure you like your base layer because, without fail, that jacket or fleece will be overkill by noon. The average annual precipitation is less than 12 inches a year and most of that is snowfall during the winter. The average annual snowfall is 33.8 inches a year and when it snows, it’s magical. If you’ve never seen snow so clean that it literally sparkles, we highly recommend you come to visit during the winter.
History
The site became known by pioneers as a fordable crossing point of the river, where it was ran through a bend. An 1870s ranch popularized the name “Farewell Bend”, with the post office later distinguishing the area as Bend. It was incorporated as a city in 1905, starting off as a logging town. In 1910, Mirror Pond was created as a dammed river reservoir to provide energy. In 1950, the two major logging companies were consolidated due to depleted timber, causing an economic drop. In later decades, it experienced rapid growth as a center of recreation.
Location
Bend is a small city on the Deschutes River, in Oregon. West are the lakes and peaks of the Cascade Mountains, with ski resorts and multi-use trails. In town, a trail leads up Pilot Butte, an extinct volcano. South, the High Desert Museum showcases the local environment, with history and live wildlife exhibits. In the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, stairs lead into the Lava River Cave, a huge lava tube.
