Join us on the best waterfall hike near Bend! This 7.2-mile loop hike follows multiple proposed Wild & Scenic Rivers, bringing hikers up close to dozens of spectacular waterfalls flowing through a mixed conifer forest full of lodgepole pine, mountain hemlock, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and white fir. In addition to the remarkable views waiting around each corner, this watershed provides over 100,000 people in the city of Bend with clean drinking water. On this hike, we’ll discuss current opportunities to protect the many important values of this wild watershed.
