Bend is about as cool as it gets. Newberry National Volcanic Monument is way cool. Go early because it gets hot. Then head up to the Deschuettes for a hike along the falls. It should be pushing lots of water right now. Keep your dogs on leashes when hiking because it’s required and because rattlesnake bites are unpleasant.and Mt Bachelor.

The town itself is full of great microbreweries serving solid beers and righteous food.
Take sun block, wear sun block, and know if you are staying in any of the neighborhoods, there is a noise ordinance in effect. ( not a big deal unless you have a dog that barks all night )
Bend and surrounding area are by far one of the coolest spots on earth. We also went hiking over at Smith Rock State Park which is a climbing area. Incredible. Again, go early and take lots of water.
Have A great time!
