Highlights
Join us for a snow-filled adventure in the heart of the Deschutes National Forest! The cascade mountains that build Bend’s backdrop typically receive 400-600 inches of fluffy snow during the winter. With snowshoes on our feet, we will journey through an old-growth forest of hemlock and fir, splashing through powder and immersing ourselves in the winter wonderland of Central Oregon! During the adventure, your naturalist guide will highlight animal tracks we may come across, enliven you with stories of native history, and touch on the immense importance of a healthy snowpack to our local ecosystem. Snowshoeing is truly the best way to observe nature in the winter! Traveling on snowshoes, you will be able to get a glimpse of how the native wildlife in Central Oregon have adapted to the deep snow, perhaps stumbling upon the tracks of a fox or pine marten. We will also take a quick rest to enjoy hot cocoa amidst the snow & mountains. Our Snowshoe tours are great fun for the whole family!

About Bend
Bend is a high-desert city in central Oregon on the Deschutes River, in the lee of the Cascade Range, with skiing, volcanoes and breweries.
Bend sits at about 1,100 metres on the Deschutes River, on the dry eastern side of the Cascade Range in central Oregon, with a line of snowy volcanoes along the western horizon, the Three Sisters among them. The river runs through town, widening at Mirror Pond beside Drake Park, and the old mill district beside it has been turned into shops, paths and places to float. Pilot Butte, a small cinder cone inside the city, can be climbed for views of the peaks.
