19 Greatest Hikes Near Bend, Oregon
You can’t visit Bend without going hiking.. that would be blasphemy!
So, start thinking about your Bend, Oregon vacation and consider adding a few of these best hikes to your itinerary:
Easy Hikes Near Bend, Oregon
Understandably, hiking massive mountains for hours and hours isn’t for everyone. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t explore some of the great trails in Bend.
Here are 3 easy hikes near Bend, Oregon for people of all ages:
1. Pilot Butte
Elevation gain:400 feet
Distance:1.8 miles
Time on trail:1 hour
Trailhead location:Pilot Butte
Hiking up Pilot Butte in downtown Bend, Oregon is one of the most popular hikes in Central Oregon and one of the best hikes near Bend. It’s also a popular spot for mountain bikers. This extinct volcano sits smack dab in the middle of Bend, so it’s quite difficult to miss it.
Pilot Butte is high enough that you’ll get amazing views of the Cascade Range from the top but short enough that people of all fitness levels can enjoy it.
The best way to experience Pilot Butte is by visiting the summit for sunset. Start your hike to the top approximately 45 minutes before sunset.
Note:Although most hikers opt to watch the sun dip below the horizon at the very top of Pilot Butte, I recommend finding a secluded spot on the side of the hill, just a few meters down from the summit. Watching the show in solitude is always better.
2. Bessie Butte
Elevation gain:500 feet
Distance:1.5 miles
Time on trail:less than 1 hour
Trailhead location:Bessie Butte
Another small extinct volcano in Central Oregon goes by the name of Bessie Butte. Located just minutes from Bend, Bessie Butte is an excellent hike to enjoy if you’re short on time. Since it takes less than an hour to complete, come here to gawk at the views of distant mountains before continuing with your day.
Bessie Butte is located off of China Hat Road, which is also home to several lava river caves. Spend an entire day exploring this desolate area of Bend, Oregon.
Pro-tip:Bring your camping gear and pitch a tent at the top of Bessie Butte. The top of this hike is completely flat and would be an awesome place to camp out for the night. But, before you start a campfire, check the burning regulations in the area. Central Oregon is known for its wildfires and only we can prevent them.
3. Tamolitch Blue Pool
Elevation gain:300 feet
Distance:3.7 miles
Time on trail:2 hours
Trailhead location:Tamolitch Blue Pool
One of our favorite hikes near Bend, Oregon is to an incredible pool called Tamolitch Blue Pool. I can tell you one thing, the name does NOT lie. This is truly a BLUE pool. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen water this blue before.
Tamolitch Blue Pool is located about an hour and a half northwest of Bend, Oregon, but being one of the best hikes in the area, the drive is more than worth it.
This short trail is in Willamette National Forest, where you can findseveral more short day hikes and adventures. Fill your day with waterfall treks, relaxing soaks in the hot springs, and a visit to Clear Lake.
Top your day off with this short hike, it’s only 4 miles roundtrip to Tamolitch Blue Pool. And for the most part it’s a flat trail, meaning that this is the perfect hike for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Note:Even during the summer months, this pool is ridiculously cold. I wouldn’t suggest swimming in it due to the risk of shock.
4. Benham Falls
Elevation gain:N/A
Distance:1.5 miles
Time on trail:30-45 minutes
Trailhead location:Benham Falls
Get the entire family ready for the Benham Falls hike, located in the middle of Bend and Sunriver, Oregon, in Deschutes National Forest and approximately 25 minutes from downtown.
This is a very easy day hike and one that you won’t need to prepare for very much. The elevation gain is minimal meaning that it’s a great option for people of all fitness and skill levels.
This is an especially fun trail to pack a picnic and sit down for a nice lunch beside the roaring Deschutes River and enjoy the tranquillity of the dense forest of ponderosa pines.
The state takes excellent care of this area, which means the main trail is well marled and you will find many bathrooms, trash cans, and picnic tables for your convenience.
And we especially appreciated that this trail was wide enough to accommodate two-way foot traffic. Bring your dog(on a leash)and experience incredible river views in exchange for very little physical work.
5. Good Dog Loop River Trail
Elevation gain:250 feet
Distance:3.5 miles
Time on trail:1.5 – 2 hours
Trailhead location:Good Dog Loop
Bend, Oregon is a very dog-friendly city, so it’s no wonder why there are so many hikes nearby that allow dogs on trail. And here’s one that’s dedicated specifically to dogs(and their owners)!
The Good Dog Loop is just 15 minutes from Bend city limits, making this an easy location to reach at any time of the day.
Situated alongside of the Deschutes River, enjoy some serenity while your dogs get their exercise.
And since this trail is so dog-friendly, you won’t have to worry about getting into trouble if you want to let your dog roam around a bit on their own.
You’ll notice that plenty of other dog owners have found this beautiful trail and everyone is kind and responsible with their pets.
6. Todd Lake Trail
Elevation gain:N/A
Distance:1.5 miles(longer during the winter months)
Time on trail:1 hour
Trailhead location:Todd Lake Trail
Another one of our favorite hikes near Bend, Oregon is the Todd Lake Trail.. and what’s not to love? Check out the picture we captured below!
If you can’t tell, Mike is holding a bird, which completely took us by surprise. But these Canada Jays(also known as camp robbers)weren’t afraid of us at all.
Although the friendly birds might seem like the coolest part about this hike, Todd Lake is a spectacle on its own. With impressive views of Mount Bachelor the entire trail and Broken Top reflecting onto the lake, you cannot go wrong with this hiking trail.
We found this hiking trail to be extremely easy because there wasn’t any elevation gain and the entire loop is approximately 1.5 miles. This means that people of all fitness levels can complete it from young children to small dogs to elderly grandparents.
Note:Parking is a $5 fee.
7. Ray Atkeson Trail
Elevation gain:100 feet
Distance:2.5 miles
Time on trail:1.5 – 2 hours
Trailhead location:Ray Atkeson Trail
Now here’s a hike near Bend, Oregon that you may not have heard of.. the Ray Atkeson Trail. If you’re in the Mount Bachelor area, this might be the best trail for you if you’re looking for mountain views.
With both South Sister and Broken Top within view, you will want to spend much more time here than the necessary 2 hours it takes to complete the trail.
I suggest bringing some snacks and watching the sunset over the alpine lake.
With very little elevation gain, this is an ideal trek for most people. Keep in mind, it is 2.5 miles, but if you can walk that far, this trail should be a breeze for you.
And don’t forget to bring your furry friends on this hike; dogs are allowed on trail but they must be on a leash.
Moderate Hikes Near Bend, Oregon
Maybe you’re looking for an adventure that challenges you a little more. The following are hikes near Bend, Oregon that will definitely get your heart racing. Expect something different from each one of these hikes.
If you’re spending an ample amount of time in central Oregon, I recommend adding all of these to your itinerary.
8. Tumalo Falls
Elevation gain:1,000 feet
Distance:6.5 miles
Time on trail:3-4 hours
Trailhead location:Tumalo Falls
Tumalo Falls is located 30 minutes west of Bend on Skyliners Road. Not only is it one of the best hikes in Bend, Oregon thanks to its close proximity to downtown, but it is also the perfect length.
Although 6.5 miles might send you into panic mode, don’t worry! Tumalo Falls is awesome because you can choose the distance you want to hike. Since there are waterfalls that dot the entire trail along Tumalo Creek, you can decide to turn back whenever you feel like it while still enjoying amazing views.
Some days I want to hike the entire trail, other days I want to hike a couple of miles. Whatever I choose, Tumalo Falls accommodates.
Pro-tip:bring cash to pay for parking($5)and I highly suggest using a 4WD vehicle to reach the trailhead. The last mile or two of the road is very bumpy with excessive potholes.
9. Black Butte
Elevation gain:1,500 feet
Distance:4 miles
Time on trail:2 hours
Trailhead location:Black Butte
当我第一次搬到俄勒冈州,再保险的山ally caught my eye was Mount Washington. The shape of the spire at the top and it’s rigid edges were unlike anything I had ever seen. I just couldn’t get enough of the spectacular views of Mount Washington.
Black Butte, a moderate hike just north of Bend, Oregon, has some of the best views of the peak of Mount Washington. You’ll endure a rocky terrain through a pine forest all the way to the top followed by a 360-degree panoramic of the surrounding mountains.
This out and back trail is just under four miles, you’ll experience quite a bit of elevation gain on the way to the peak. Start your hike early to avoid any crowds.
Pro-tip:Be sure to bring your 4WD vehicle. The road to the trailhead is a bumpy one!
10. Misery Ridge Trail
Elevation gain:900 feet
Distance:4 miles
Time on trail:2-3 hours
Trailhead location:痛苦岭路
By far our favorite hike near Bend, Oregon is also one of the best hikes in all of Central Oregon. Find the Misery Ridge hiking trail in Smith Rock State Park, just 25 minutes from downtown Bend. Once you arrive at the parking lot, you’ll quickly realize why this is one of the best hikes near Bend, Oregon.
In my opinion, Smith Rock State Park should NOT be a state park, but rather a national park. The landscape and rock formations found here are breathtaking. The river running through these basalt cliffs is the cherry on top.
Enjoy all of these views by hiking the most famous Smith Rock State Park trail, Misery Ridge Trail. Don’t be frightened by the title, this hike is relatively moderate and can be accomplished in a few hours.
The best part about Smith Rock State Park and the Misery Ridge Trail is that it can be accessed year-round. Situated in the high desert, very little snow falls on this park, making it a popular spot for rock climbing too. Experience your favorite Bend, Oregon hike any time of the year.
Note:When venturing out to complete the Misery Ridge Trail, opt to do the hike clockwise. Start out along the river and make your way around the back of the cliffs before ascending to the top.
By hiking the Misery Ridge Trail backward, you encounter far fewer people.
11. Green Lakes Trail
Elevation gain:1,200 feet
Distance:9 miles
Time on trail:4 hours
Trailhead location:Green Lakes Trail
You can find the popular Green Lakes Trail just 45 minutes west of Bend near the Mount Bachelor Ski area (one of the snowiest ski resorts in Oregon), South Sister, and Broken Top. If those hiking trails seem a bit too intense for you, consider this trail instead.
Green Lakes Trail is a moderate hike for those with a bit of hiking experience. At 9 miles, this isn’t a walk in the park, but it is still achievable by most people.
This area of Oregon is very popular among backpackers, so if you’re looking for a great backpacking trip, Green Lakes Trail and the surrounding campgrounds should be added to your itinerary.
But be aware that this is a go-to hike near Bend, so you’ll likely see many other travelers on the trail. We recommend getting there early in the morning to secure a parking spot in the small lot.
Note:Parking is now a $5 fee.
12. Mirror Lake [Sisters, Oregon]
Elevation gain:900 feet
Distance:8.5 miles
Time on trail:2-3 hours
Trailhead location:Mirror Lake
The Cascade Lakes comprise 14 lakes in the Cascade Mountains. This area is one of the most stunning places in Oregon and luckily there are plenty of hiking trails that will show you all of its beautiful landscapes.
From waterfalls to mountains to lakes, you truly won’t be disappointed spending your time exploring this area.
In addition to Todd Lake, Sparks Lake, Ray Atkeson Trail, and Green Lakes Trail, I strongly suggest adding Sisters Mirror Lake to your outdoor adventure to-do list.
This is more of an off-the-beaten-path kind of hiking trail, which is nice because you’ll be able to escape the crowds that flock to other trails in the Cascade Lakes area.
Although a slightly longer hike, it’s relatively easy with little elevation gain, so we recommend this hike for anyone who can walk for nearly miles.
At the turn around point, you’ll reach a quiet lake, which is a great place to eat lunch and swim.
13. Soda Creek Trail
Elevation gain:1,100 feet
Distance:8 miles
Time on trail:2-3 hours
Trailhead location:Soda Creek Trail
Does it surprise you that we’re talking about ANOTHER hiking trail in the Cascade Lakes area near Bend? It’s so hard not to when there are so many epic trails to choose from.
Soda Creek Trail is a hike that runs parallel to the Green Lakes Trail. The upside to this trail is that it is much less crowded than Green Lakes and you’ll still get the most breathtaking views.
For this hike, I highly suggest going in June to see the wildflowers. When they are in full bloom, you will be blown away by their immense beauty.
The cool thing about Soda Creek Trail is that you can actually extend your hike to reach No Name Lake on Broken Top. This was one of our favorite places in all of Oregon as you can see one of the remaining glaciers in state.
But don’t let me pressure you to complete a 19-mile hike; Soda Creek Trail is plenty beautiful without going the extra distance. The views of Broken Top are reason enough to complete this trek.
Epic Hikes Near Bend, Oregon
And now onto the REALLY good stuff. For those hikers out there that are passionate about finding the most epic trails, these are the 3 hikes near Bend, Oregon you must add to your to-do list.
14. South Sister
Elevation gain:4,900 feet
Distance:13 miles
Time on trail:8+ hours
Trailhead location:South Sister
Before we began our hike up South Sister, I wasn’t intimidated by any means. As an avid hiker from Colorado, I had hiked up taller mountains than South Sister. I thought I could do this hike in my sleep.
HA!
If you plan on hiking up South Sister, be prepared for a grueling trek. As the third tallest mountain in Oregon, you’ll experience intense elevation gain throughout this entire challenging hike. Paired with volcanic sand and rock, this trail shows no mercy.
Although demanding, this is one of the best hikes near Bend, Oregon. Catch a glimpse of Central Oregon from above at the peak of South Sister.
Pro-tip:I recommend camping at Moraine Lake the night before you attempt the summit. This will break up the 13-mile hike. You’ll also be able to attempt the summit for sunrise, an unbelievable experience.
15. Broken Top
Elevation gain:3,900 feet
Distance:15 miles
Time on trail:8+ hours
Trailhead location:Broken Top
Although the picture below is phenomenal, it just doesn’t do this hike justice. Broken Top is one of the most sought-after hikes near Bend, Oregon and for good reason. The aquamarine waters of No Name Lake are unlike anything you’ll find in the Pacific Northwest.
You’ll need to endure 15 miles of hiking to reach this magical lake. Give yourself an ample amount of time to complete the entire hike in one day. If you’re brave, bring your swimsuit for a dip in the coldest water you’ll ever swim in!
Pro-tip:There is a way to cut off a large majority of the hike. If you have a 4WD, high-clearance vehicle, there is a road that leads to the top. Instead of hiking the entire 15 miles, the hike is reduced to just 3 miles.
16. Paulina Peak
Elevation gain:1,600 feet
Distance:6 miles
Time on trail:3-4 hours
Trailhead location:Paulina Peak
Just a short drive from Bend, Oregon, you’ll find Newberry National Volcanic Monument. With so many fun activities to do in this area of Central Oregon, it’s difficult to choose just one. As an avid hiker, I may be biased, but I think hiking up to Paulina Peak is the best thing to do.
Paulina Peak is part of an active stratovolcano. At the top, enjoy views of the gorgeously blue Paulina Lake to the north and the Big Obsidian Flow to the east. If you’ve never seen lava flow before, you’re in for a real treat.
Pro-tip:It is possible to drive to the top of Paulina Peak. Although I’m not one for passing up an epic hiking adventure, driving to the top of Paulina Peak is a great way to experience this view during sunset; hiking down in the dark isn’t advised.
17. Mount Bachelor
Elevation gain:2,700 feet
Distance:7.5 miles
Time on trail:3 hours
Trailhead location:Mount Bachelor
Sure anyone can ski down Mount Bachelor, but how may people can say they have hiked up to the summit? Not many, that’s for sure!
Hiking to the top of Mount Bachelor is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a great trail that will get your heart racing. Located just 35 minutes from downtown, this is a perfect half-day activity before heading to one of Bend’s many breweries.
To start, you’ll need to make your way to Mount Bachelor’s west village. From there, the ascent is initially gradual through alpine meadows but will turn rocky and steep as you approach the summit.
Although we found the hiking trail with ease, other hikers have reported it difficult to find the trail, especially from the west village. I strongly suggest using the AllTrails app to help you stay on the right path.
Keep in mind, if you do lose the trail, continue toward the top; you’ll end up in the same location regardless.
Note:This particular trail gets really windy. I suggest brining a windbreaker or extra layers.
18. Pacific Crest Trail [Bend, Oregon Section]
Elevation gain:About 4,000 feet
Distance:27 miles
Time on trail:Multi-day
Trailhead location:Pacific Crest Trail
Let’s face it, most of us won’t be able to complete the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in our lifetime. 2,600+ miles is a heck of a long way.
But what if I told you that you could still experience and awesome part of the trail and it’s located near Bend, Oregon!
Hop in the car for a 50 minute drive out to the Cascade Lakes area and start your trek just off of the Cascade Lakes Highway.
But come prepared because most trekkers complete this section of the PCT over a matter of days. In total, you’re looking at over 27 miles, so only experienced hikers should attempt this.
I recommend spreading this trip out over 3 days and hiking a maximum of 10 miles per day(more or less).
Note:No matter the time of year, you will likely come across snowy patches of trail. Use caution when hiking on snow.
19. Three Fingered Jack
Elevation gain:3,500 feet
Distance:23 miles
Time on trail:Typically multi-day
Trailhead location:Three Fingered Jack
不仅是我最喜欢的徒步三指杰克near Bend, Oregon because of its fun name, but this is one of the most scenic trails in the entire state.
If you’re up for the challenge, gear up for the 23-mile hike that will take you up and over some of the most exposed ridges on the mountain; this long trail is not for the faint of heart.
Typically most hikers choose to complete this trek over several days, but hiking it in one day CAN be done if you’re fast enough.
In my opinion, camping on the mountain is all part of the fun, so I do recommend spending at least one night in a tent.
Note:There isn’t a lot of shaded areas on this trail, so I suggest bringing a hat, water, and plenty of sunscreen. Starting your hike early will also help you avoid extreme sun exposure.
Important Tips For Hiking In Bend, Oregon
Don’t hit the trails without getting the lowdown on things you should know about hiking in Oregon.
After over a year of constant hiking all over the state of Oregon, we’ve learned some of the most important lessons. Here’s what you need to know:
1. What To Bring On Your Bend Hikes
Although hiking in Bend is pretty similar to other hiking locations around teh country, there are a few things to consider while packing:
Water, Water, Water!
无论如果你徒步旅行一个简单的小径或完整模型ting a multi-day trek, it is absolutely vital that you bring enough water or a water filter.
Bend, Oregon is located in the high desert in the central part of the state, therefore temperatures can easily exceed 100 degrees. Two to three liters of water is recommended per person for any adventure.
Snacks
As with any hike, you’ll want to make sure you fuel your body, especially if you’re hiking in the summer time.
Our go-to hiking snacks are sandwiches, Snickers, and fruit. Bring enough to sustain yourself for the entire trek.
Athletic Shoes
I can’t emphasize enough how important athletic closed-toed shoes are when hiking in Oregon.
Thanks to its rough terrain, it’s quite easy to slip or stumble while exploring the backcountry trails. Hiking shoes will help you stay on your feet and avoid injury.
Hat & Sunscreen
Since it rarely rains in Oregon during the hiking season, a raincoat isn’t really necessary. Instead, you’ll want to prepare for intense heat and a roasting sun.
带一顶帽子来保持太阳从你的脸和wear sunscreen on any part of your body that is exposed to the sun. You’ll thank me later!
2. Best App For Hiking In Bend
Getting lost while hiking is one of the easiest ways to ruin your day. Believe me, it has happened to me MANY times.
That was until I realized there was an app that would solve all of my problems. If you haven’t downloaded theAllTrails appyet, do it now!
Although you can find better trail descriptions in posts like this, AllTrails offers a fantastic map feature that shows you exactly where the trail goes. Following this map will help you stay on track throughout your entire hike.
When To Hike In Bend, Oregon
The best times to hit the hiking trails in Bend, Oregon are early spring(对于野花), summer(for the cloudless skies), and fall(for the autumn colors).
With that said, you can still find great hiking trails and fun adventures in the off-season, which typically runs from November until the beginning of May or late spring. I especially recommend Willamette National Forest, Smith Rock State Park, and Umpqua National Forest during the winter months.
These places tend to have less snow, so you can still navigate the trails.
Note:The Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway is snowed-in from November until the end of April, it’s only accessible during the warmer months.
Where To Stay In Bend, Oregon
As a popular tourist destination, there are many different accommodation options to choose from in Bend, Oregon.
Here are a few of the best places to stay for every budget type:
Where To Stay In Bend On A Budget
Typically, Bend is a pretty expensive city. Finding a quality hotel at a reasonable price is difficult.
Therefore, the easiest way to visit Bend while staying on a budget is to camp. With many campgrounds and national forests in the area, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a place to pitch your tent.
To help you on your search for a good campground, check outCrown Villa RV Resort(we lived here for a year in our RV and loved it),Soda Creek Campground,Paulina Lake Campground, and theBivy Campgroundin Smith Rock State Park.
Mid-Range Places To Stay In Bend
When it comes to mid-range accommodation options, it seems that Bend is lacking a bit, therefore, I wouldn’t expect these suggestions to be top-tier hotels.
But if you’re looking to stay between $90-$150 per night, I suggest looking intoBest Western Plus Bend NorthorSleep Inn.
Upscale Accommodation Options In Bend
Splurge a bit during your Bend vacation and stay at one of the many upscale hotels and resorts in the Old Mill District, home to Bend’s best shopping, dining and entertainment experiences.
For the best of the best, check outThe Oxford Hotel,Brasada Ranch, or太阳河Resort. Each of these options boasts luxury rooms, over-the-top amenities, and excellent customer service.
