Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center

Right now, the Oregon Badlands are showing off—shades of gold, violet, and blush tucked between lava rock and sage ✨ 👉 These wildflowers are tougher than they look—but they’re also incredibly vulnerable to foot traffic. By staying on trail, you’re helping protect this moment for the next person who comes along.

Somewhere between the cannonball and the cold drink, it hits you—this is exactly where you’re supposed to be. #ThisIsBend

GOING FAST. The current Bend Ale Trail prizes are almost tapped out. 👉 If you’re close to finishing your passport, now’s the time to redeem. These custom taster glasses and handcrafted juniper boards won’t be back—once they’re gone, they’re gone.

No noise. No rush. Just water, quiet, and a little room to breathe. 📍: Paulina Lake + Falls
