Bend is located in the foothills of Central Oregon's Cascade Mountains on the edge of a Ponderosa pine forest as it transitions into the high desert plateau. Outdoorsy, yet sophisticated, Bend is the state's hottest destination spot. Oregon's playground delivers with mountain biking, hiking, rafting, golfing, fishing, climbing, camping, skiing and general sightseeing. The area features several resorts and Historic Bend, a must-do locale, with 250 specialty shops, restaurants, brew pubs, art galleries, antique stores and coffee houses, coupled with Bohemian flair and historic charm. At an elevation of 3,628 feet, Bend enjoys the predominately dry climate of the Great Basin. Sunny days, low humidity and cool nights are common. Since 2005 the Bend Elks Baseball Club have operated this three-day weekend event. Over the past 10 years, well over $200,000 of event proceeds have gone to support amateur baseball in Bend.
