Multi Sport Days in Bend, Oregon
Multi Sport Days in Bend, Oregon
As the days of Winter fade into a slow arrival of Spring in Bend, Oregon, we sit back and think about our options for the day. With so many choices in adventure being served up in Central Oregon, sometimes it is hard to decide. With the more savvy vacationer to this area, they know what our area has to offer, and truly it seems endless!
With the temperatures looming between 21 degrees here in town early in the morning and warming up to a balmy 53 by the end of the day, it seems to bring those options into perspective. The obvious choice for most of us is Winter sports! Bend's Winter sports range from snowboarding and alpine skiing at Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort or cross-country and skate skiing out at Mt. Bachelor's Nordic Center. Taking the lead of the locals, we tend to try to find the path least followed which can take the Winter adventurer to many different directions. With the endless BLM areas we have surrounding Central Oregon the options dot Century Boulevard, the road that leads to Mt. Bachelor. Snow shoeing or telemark skiing up Tumalo Mountain which is directly across Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort or taking our dogs out to pet friendly off leash areas such as Wanoga, Edison Sno Park or Skyliner for a romp in the snow while we run and glide through our Wintery wonderlands is sure to get your blood warmed up.
After lunch with tea or coffee, the afternoon activities can range from mountain biking, road biking, climbing or bouldering in close by locals' crags are a few of our favorites.
Checking out the mountain biking trails as of late, choosing Maston, a beginner's trail, Horse Ridge, an intermediate to advanced trail or a locals' favorite within easy range to get to with varying degrees of trails, the Phil's trail system is a great choice. Having been out to the mountain biking trails of Phil's yesterday, the majority of the lower elevation rides are dry and almost snow and mud free.
As always, with the opportunities that come with Bend, Oregon's bi-polar weather, be sure to dress appropriately with layers that wick away moisture and shield you from the cooler temps and light wind you may encounter with our fabulous, usually cloud free, sunny days of the season. Light snacks and hydration are a key element to enjoying our marathon endorphine filled days of Central Oregon.
See you outside!
