Things to do

You can hear the team before you see them 🐾 There’s a burst of energy at the start. Then the trail settles and the ride turns smooth. Snow sprays from the runners. Ponderosas blur past. The crisp winter air hits your face. Dog sledding with Oregon Trail of Dreams will leave you wondering who enjoyed it more—you or the dogs.

Dog sledding

The best part of fall in Bend? The pastry cases are stacked. 🥐✨ 📍 @thepantrybend – Sage Brown Butter Honey Latte + Cinnamon Roll Scone (still thinking about that icing) 📍 @msbakerybend – Pumpkin Cream-Filled Cruffin = flaky, creamy, fall perfection 📍 @thumpcoffee – Real-pumpkin PSL + Muffin with cream cheese & streusel (trust us, it’s the move) No trail map needed—just follow the crumbs. 😉
