The PERFECT Summer Trip to Bend Oregon! Top Things to Do (Food, Hikes, + Beer)

[@JimAllhiser]

Haha! My favorite bumper sticker I saw in Bend: "Bend Sucks, Don't Move Here" 🤣😂 I don't think he was fooling anyone!

[@beanricecheese]

I live in Bend… for 40 years. And I’m 40. I’m happy you went to Wild Rose. Best restaurant in Bend. Also that float you did.. my buddies and I started that… used to be fun but it’s chaos now.

[@hivolco151]

Hey!! YOU FOUND MY STATE OF OREGON!! Having grown up here, I guess we sort of take it for granted after a while,, but I still remember my first float down the rapids the Summer my family camped there with daily river floats and campfire goodies, I was 7 years old... it somehow etched such a positive feeling that when my kids were growing up we made many long weekend trips staying in Sisters, Redmond, and Bend... doing all the great activities... Mt Bachelor SNOW!! also Snow camping near the Pacific Crest trail. Suttle Lake camping and fishing such fun!! YES you really have NO idea how deep into the activities you can get. My cousin has a Bed & Breakfast so besides camping many different options for spending a weekend or a Week! Looking forward to your next adventures!

[@EatSeeRV]

That's wonderful and yes it's easy to forget how special it is.

[@christiangraves9340]

cool to see how special bend is from an outside prospective, i live here and can definitely fall into taking it for granted of day to day life sometimes

[@EatSeeRV]

It's easy to do (anywhere). Glad it was a refreshing view at a wonderful city!

❤. Hello!! This is Lana.I sent a message almost a year ago. You and Dennis inspired me to visit the oregon coast. Well we are here in our new rv!! We are now in bend. I literally took all your advice and we visited all the places you did. Ate at sparrow bakery!! Awesome. Walked the Deschutes river walk. Plan on tubing since we'll be here three weeks before hitting the oregon coast ! I've watched your bend video countless times. Saw where you stay originally. Scadia rv park. Loving it here!! Thanks to you. This my 45th wedding anniversary. Thought about you and wanted to say thank you for helping making this even more spectacular ❤!! I hope one day we meet on the road! Your biggest fan!!😊

I live and work in Bend. I grew up in Astoria and moved here in 2005. Best decision ever!! There’s so much to do year round! You get all four seasons and there’s tons to do within those seasons. Food carts are my favorite. And floating the Deschutes. And shopping. ♥️

Hello Liz and Dennis, yes I do remember that blockbuster night and getting some drinks and all kinds snack food like pizza, chicken wings and I made what you would call a movie night, I kinda of miss those days, thank you for showing that they are still around cool, have wonderful trip and see you on the next video love Becca

[@adriankung1625]

Yeah, the only thing I really miss about VHS tapes is that I can't find a Midnight Run (1988) that hasn't been re-mastered for DVD - sometimes the re-mastering really detracts from the authentic original - just kills me when they decide to cut scenes that were originally there and cut frames that were such a big part of making it truly special - we used to stop and go frame by frame of Charles Grodin's face as he feared they were going to crash driving off-road - priceless! Bend also looks to be priceless!

[@EatSeeRV]

Hahaha what a fun memory! I didn't know the changed them.

[@TheAverageTourist]

I'd love to visit Bend one day - looks incredible. The Smith Rock State Park looked so pretty and I'd love to float on the river and visit the last Blockbuster.

[@EatSeeRV]

I hope you make it there soon!

[@Kevin-jx7ig]

When I was born in Bend it was 5,000 people and the whole west side was dirt roads. Now it's an overpopulated mess.

[@EatSeeRV]

Things change. It's crazy what a few decades can do! My hometown is totally different and filled with over a million people!

[@r8chlletters]

Agreed. It’s been ruined by too much expansion and poor infrastructure. Used to be an amazing ski bum town, loved it back in the day (circa 80s). I won’t even go into bend if I can help it.

[@dianestevenson2630]

We used to enjoy taking our kids to Blockbuster to rent movies when they were young. Be kind rewind! My husband used to work for Sound Warehouse then Blockbuster when Blockbuster bought them out before having kids. Our kids thought it was cool he worked in their IT department. We were surprised to see one still open. It is nice to see one survived. Great video.

[@CanadianReactions]

Looks like such a dope spot! On the list!

[@joebartone606]

The trick with Smith Rock is go up the other side (relatively easy, carved out steps), Misery Ridge is for the trek down. Also be on the lookout for eagles, and their nests. Both bald eagles and the gigantic golden eagles. I love living here.

I’m glad you guys got to experience Smith Rock’s Misery trail. Living very close and having hiked that trail hundreds of times my wife and I had to chuckle when you first said “doesn’t look that hard”. Next time you guys should hike Black Butte in Sisters, OR. Highly recommended!

Blockbuster was our childhood. Every weekend after dinner too! Aww my sis and I are traveling from Hawaii to visit our uncle who is sick and lives in bend. It’s a nice surprise to hear that this is in fact where the last blockbuster is. We’ll def need to visit and get a pic lol so nostalgic❤

@@EatSeeRV you could also do something by not advertising the overflow of people to overcrowd the areas, make videos or promote the tourism of smaller and less known areas instead of those locals are already at their wits end at with the massively high tourism influxes that are actively putting too much strain on the city and residents because the city of 600k that's already 300k more population that the city is built for turning into nearly a million plus people during the extra high traffic

[@fishingjohnson]

@@EatSeeRV I'm kind of with Mike. Lived in Bend since 1978. It has become an absolute circus here in the summer and winter. The tourism creates people that want to move here; and typically the people that move here drive up housing prices to the point where the people who cater to the tourists are no longer able to live here.

[@mikeashe7270]

@@fishingjohnson exactly, and that lack extra travel has made it so many companies that once relied on tourism had to close because cost of living was too much and people had to find work close to where they had to move to as well as having a harder time finding employees for year round employment. Also causing our homeless epidemic to skyrocket. The exceedingly high tourism has lead to aggressive gentrification and is only exacerbating the problems

@@EatSeeRV I don't mind Bend getting filled with tourists and more people moving to it, because Redmond is close by and isn't filled with people like Bend. So you can live in Redmond and still be close to all the activities but without nearly all the people, but still enjoy the increase in home values due to the proximity of Bend (assuming you already own a home there, otherwise you are SOL). I live in Redmond, only 5 minutes away to Smith Rock park and my house sits next to the entrance of the Dry Canyon that runs through Redmond.
