Located in the high desert of central Oregon at the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Bend is famous for its many forms of outdoor recreation.

Offering warm weather activities like rock climbing and hiking, kayaking and rafting, fly fishing, golfing, mountain biking to stellar winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding at nearby Mt. Bachelor as well as cross country skiing, sledding, tubing and snowmobiling in the Deschutes National Forest. To say there are endless opportunities for outdoor fun is an understatement.

Portland, as many food lovers know, is a culinary mecca. Rarely though, do most equate gluten-free as gastronomic pleasure, but instead as tasteless, cardboard bread look-a-likes. Today's gluten-free foods have come along way from barely edible to almost undetectable as far as texture and flavor go and many Portland restaurants are celebrating with gluten-free entrees and menus. We even have a few 100% gluten free establishments.
