Guide to Epic Accessible Adventures in Bend & Central Oregon
8 min read


Bathed in blue skies, crisp mountain air and the dramatic beauty of the high desert, Central Oregon sets the stage for accessible adventures for all. From ancient lava fields and pine-scented trails to guided paddling and stargazing tours, there are endless ways to stay busy – or just sit back and unplug, with nature all around. Destination-worthy brew pubs, wellness resorts and accessible slopes at Mt. Bachelor are beloved year-round.
“When I thought of going somewhere like Central Oregon, my fear came from automatically thinking I was going to be excluded because it’s outdoors. That assumption of not being accessible, not being possible. But this weekend has shown me that there are so many places and so many people who have taken steps to make it inclusive.”
