Smith Rock Climbing, First Street Rapids Trail or Mt. Bachelor
Climbing, Mountain Biking or Snowboarding?
When living in Bend, Oregon it is such a difficult task to make a choice sometimes about what an individual could do in one day. There are so many fun things to do and so many choices in the seemingly endless outdoor play land that we call home.
Climbing at Smith Rock State Park in Terrebonne, Oregon
My first choice of the day is to climb at Smith Rock State Park with the weather cam announcing that is currently 42 degrees and a sunny, completely blue bird day making for perfect climbing weather in Terrebonne, Oregon. Smith Rock State Park is a beautiful canyon system with a variety of bouldering, sport climbing, traditional climbing and hiking routes. Terrebonne, Oregon is just a quick 20 minutes from Bend, Oregon so getting there is pretty easy if you follow Highway 97 North passed Redmond, Oregon, the canyon is off to the right, you simply can't miss it unless you close your eyes!
Mountain Biking at First Street Rapids Trail in Bend, Oregon
Taking a nice ride that is quite simple and easy to get to and right in the middle of the West side of Bend, Oregon is the First Street Rapids Trail which is an easy ride along the Deschutes River is also a great choice for a couple of hours. Getting to the location is about 5-10 minutes from generally any location on the West side. Street parking is readily available and the ride is a tranquil area for taking in the sights along the river. The weather for this area calls for a 50 degree day with blue skies.
Snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort
Of course, it being January, Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort is in full operation with blue bird skies and Spring like conditions for the day. Besides epic skiing and snowboarding runs all over Mt. Bachelor, the Gatorade Free Flow competition is under way this weekend and located right off of Pine Martin the main lift and accessible to the main parking lot at the mountain. The weather forecast calls for blue bird skies and 33 degrees at the mountain, making it perfect conditions to ski, snowboard or spectate at the contest.
What is my choice for the day? CLIMBING! Tomorrow presents for another great day, so taking my new mountain bike for a spin on its virgin ride is on the schedule for adventure. It sure is a tough life living and playing in Bend, Oregon. If you are thinking of visiting, Alpenglow Vacation Rentals offers several options for lodging on the West side of Bend, Oregon with a variety of prices and accommodations.
Visit Bend, you won't be disappointed!
