Breeze Flights From Provo / Salt Lake City, UT to Redmond, OR From $71*

Central Oregon is where mountain peaks meet pine forests, and the high desert stretches out under endless blue skies. Bend and Redmond are two of the region’s most welcoming towns full of outdoor adventure, craft brews, and small-town hospitality. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a quick day trip, you’ll find plenty to explore. 

Start your day in Redmond with a stop at a local coffee shop. Enjoy locally roasted beans and a cozy atmosphere. Then head out to Smith Rock State Park, just 15 minutes away. Even though it’s a world-famous climbing spot, you don’t need ropes to enjoy it. Hike the easy Crooked River Trail for views of the waterway snaking through towering rock spires. The Misery Ridge Trail is another more challenging option, offering a steep climb with 360-degree views of the Cascade Range. 

After your hike, make your way south to Bend. This outdoorsy town has a little bit of everything, mountain views, river walks, and a downtown packed with shops and restaurants. Take a stroll along the Deschutes River. You’ll pass through Drake Park, one of the prettiest spots in town, with wide lawns, shady trees, and views of Mirror Pond. If you’re into craft beer, Bend is a paradise for a mid-afternoon tasting. 

As the sun starts to dip, head up to Pilot Butte, a volcanic cinder cone right in the middle of town. You can drive or hike to the top for a nice overlook of the city and surrounding ranges, perfect for a beautiful sunset. On a clear day, you’ll see all the way to Mount Bachelor and the Three Sisters. Afterwards, grab a bite to eat in Old Bend, serving up local fare right on the river.
