Why Bend Continues to Attract Luxury Buyers From Across the Country
Why Bend Continues to Attract Luxury Buyers From Across the Country
Bend has long been one of the Pacific Northwest's most desirable places to live. What was once viewed primarily as a recreational destination has evolved into one of the West's premier luxury housing markets, attracting buyers from California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, and throughout Oregon. While every buyer has a unique reason for relocating, many share a common goal—they are looking for a place where exceptional homes and an exceptional lifestyle come together.

Hiking Grizzly Peak from Pamelia Lake: Rhododendrons, Mt. Jefferson Views, and the Legacy of the 2006 Milk Creek Landslide
Few hikes in Oregon deliver as much variety in a single day as the journey from Pamelia Lake to Grizzly Peak in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. This hike begins in a lush old-growth forest, passes crystal-clear mountain streams, wanders through blooming rhododendron groves, and finishes with some of the most spectacular views of Mt. Jefferson you'll find anywhere in the Cascades. On a recent outing, we covered just over 10 miles round trip with approximately 2,700 feet of elevation gain. While the climb to Grizzly Peak requires some effort, the reward is a front-row seat to Oregon's second-highest mountain and a unique perspective on the power of...
