BEND THERE, DONE THAT Prefer to spend your vacation seeing the sights instead of studying the map? Add a guided tour to your Bend agenda.

If winter recreation is your scene, book a snowshoe trip with award-winning geo-tourism outfitter Wanderlust Tours. They’ll take you out for an unforgettable moonlight or starlight tour—complete with a roaring bonfire—or try a snowshoe excursion by light of day. Wanderlust has you covered for summertime fun as well, with canoe and kayak trips on the Cascade Lakes. They can even show you Bend’s hidden underground with a lava tube cave tour. Maybe mountain biking is more your style. Roll out with Cog Wild Mountain Bike Tours and get the inside scoop on the best trails. They provide the bikes, gear, and will even pick you up at your hotel. Favorite trips include the Mt. Bachelor to Bend ride and the Cascade Mountains loop with stops for high lakes swimming. Thirsty for river adventures? Ouzel Outfitters and Sun Country Tours lead exhilarating rafting excursions on the Deschutes, McKenzie, and North Umpqua Rivers for

the perfect family trip or a week-long whitewater getaway. For a shorter rafting trip close to town, check out Sun Country Tours’ Big Eddy Thriller. Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe also offers full and half-day canoe, kayak, and standup paddleboarding tours. For a fun twist on seeing the sights, an electric bike tour gives you the option of pedaling or powering up those hills. The Deschutes Historical Museum does historic walking tours of downtown Bend during the summer months, or catch their spooktacular haunted tours happening around Halloween. For a high-octane option, head out with Outriders Northwest for the ultimate all-terrain adventure. Get a second dose of adrenaline when you head up to Mt. Bachelor for their summertime zipline.
