EXPLORE CENTRAL OREGON<br />
>><br />
PORTLAND<br />
Once dwellers of high desert logging<br />
country, Central Oregonians<br />
now spend most of their time logging<br />
miles on their bikes, skis and hiking<br />
boots. Quality of life is the way of life<br />
in this blue-sky country. Absent any<br />
one major industry—aside from sports<br />
medicine—many residents telecommute<br />
to jobs in larger cities or partake<br />
in creative local ventures. After more<br />
than doubling its population in the<br />
early 2000s, Bend’s emerging culture<br />
is full of active recreaters and stimulating<br />
ventures. At the center is a thriving<br />
music scene, casual fine dining, craft<br />
beer and breweries—along with an<br />
ever-increasing cosmopolitan flavor.<br />
The Cascade High Lakes, Deschutes<br />
River and old lava flows, among endless<br />
other outdoor wonders, are minutes<br />
away to fly-fish, stand up paddle<br />
or hit the trails in Central Oregon.<br />
