TREK a TRAIL of BEER.

FOUNDATIONS OF CENTRAL OREGON’S ECONOMY

There are 16 (and counting) world-class craft breweries along the Bend Ale Trail, and with your Bend Ale Trail™ Atlas and Passport, you can track your route to all of them. Collect stamps from each brewery on the trail, then stop by the Bend Visitor Center to snag your prize—a coveted Bend Ale Trail Silipint ﬁlled with goodies.

If earning prizes for drinking beer sounds like a dream come true, we won’t pinch you awake.

Here’s how the whole thing works:

As you amble your way along the Bend Ale Trail, whip out your passport (one passport per person) and ask for a stamp at each brewery. Remember, no purchase is required!

Got stamps from 10 breweries? Awesome. Pat yourself on the back, then bring your passport to the Bend Visitor Center for a commemorative Silipint pint glass.

Got stamps from all 16 breweries? Rock on with your bad self. Not only do you get the Silipint when you bring us your passport, we’ll also give you a nifty Bend Ale Trail bottle opener.

Now get out there and sip some suds!

Bill Healy founded Mt. Bachelor Ski Area December 19, 1958 with a rope tow and a single lift. Mt. Bachelor has since grown to be one of the largest ski resorts in the U.S. The resort boasts a wide variety of terrain. Guests can ski or ride 360 degrees off the summit, hike the adjoining cinder cone for a thrilling run down, or, ski the trees to find that great cache of powder!

Not only is Mt. Bachelor a great place for expert skiers and riders to get that burn, it is also a fantastic place to learn a snow sport or take the family for an exciting day out. Carrousel, our free beginners lift, offers an easy ride up and gentle slope down. There are also numerous lesson packages to choose from; check out our link to snow sport services.

Conveniently located just 22 miles west of Bend, Mt. Bachelor’s season is one of the longest in the Northwest, usually starting in November by Thanksgiving and lasting well into May.

Bachelor!
