Hike with “the Eds”

September 3, 2019

$65 – $75

The first hike in the series begins with an overview of the many ways the Deschutes River is used by our community. It’s an interpretive hike along the Deschutes River in Bend, with several stops that observe changes to the river over time. Stops include the canal diversions on the northern edge of town and the hydro power station on the southern edge of town.

This is a 6-mile hike using the Deschutes River Trail. 200 feet of elevation gain. Meet near the canals on NE Division, approximately across the street from the Riverbend Brewing Sports Pub.
