Spring is here ☀️ Somewhere out there, a paddleboard has your name on it. 💭

Things to do

First official day of spring is still a few days out. But 58° and bluebird skies at @mtbachelor this week? The mountain’s clearly not waiting for the calendar.

Spring break ideas

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. 😉
