The Bend Pledge

Bend is pretty great. Help us make sure you leave it even greater.

Maybe we’re biased, but we think Bend is one of the most incredible places on Earth. No matter how you choose to spend your visit, Bend is going to give you its best, and you’re going to have a heck of a good time. We hope you’ll give Bend your best, too—and it starts with taking The Bend Pledge.

The Bend Pledge is our way of asking you to join us in protecting the places we love to play by treading softly, taking only memories, and leaving only footprints.

Head to our website to sign The Bend Pledge, and who knows? Your next Bend vacation might just be on us. SOME SIMPLE RULES

1. Smile, say please & thank you, give rightof-way, and simply slow down.

2. Adventure and explore in a manner that is respectful to the land, wildlife, and the people you share it with.

3. Plan and prepare for your time on the trails, in the mountains and on the water.

4. Walk more, drive less, and stick to established trails, routes, and parking areas.

5. We must take care of the places that take care of us; we are all visitors here.

That’s it. It’s that easy.
