Order. Check in. Complete a territory. That’s how you earn the bottle — and your first Bend Ale Trail sticker. From there, it’s simple: More territories. More stickers. 👉 Start your trek at BendAleTrail.com.

Trek the Bend Ale Trail

Horse Ridge is calling and honestly, it’s hard to say no. Lava rock, open skies, and singletrack that reminds you exactly why people plan trips to Bend—or why you should 😉 #ThisIsBend

Ride the MTB trails

📍 The gates are open. Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway is officially open for the season—ahead of schedule, because of a mild winter.

Explore the lakes

Nobody warns you about how hard it is to hand the keys back. High desert trails and nowhere to be—you’ll find out for yourself 😅 #ThisIsBend 📌 ATV tour with @octaneadventuresco
