You'll also probably want to check out one of Oregon's treasured Hot Springs while you're in the area.

Umpqua Hot Springs

@geo-conscious

About 120 miles (~2.25 hours) South of Bend and short steep climb to a secluded "tub" will expose you to a magical experience that you won't forget. Nudity is common at most Oregon hot springs and the water temperatures are truly toasty.

If you're road trippin' across Oregon, I've compiled some recommendations from my favorite Bend, OR places. Bend is a must-visit! You can take the scenic 97 / Dalles California Highway up 90mi from Crater Lake to enjoy it and there are great spots to check out on the way.

Summer Trip to Bend, Oregon

Central Oregon is a stunning place to visit. It's off the beaten path from the bustling urban atmosphere of Portland (~3.5 hours away) and it's the perfect destination if you're into brews and views. Oregon's landscape is truly unmatched and it holds a special place in my heart after living in the state for 5 years. Unlike the moderate climate of the west coast, central Oregon is well known for its winter and spectacular skiing. But, I recommend visiting Bend in the warmer months from May - September to experience the sunny mountain town vibes, enjoying the endless patio dining options, hitting the trail, floating the river, or biking through the high desert scenery. In this guide I've outlined some fun activities, recommendations for lodging, as well as the top spots for breakfast, great bites, and top notch breweries.
