Bill Healy founded Mt. Bachelor Ski Area December 19, 1958 with a rope tow and a single lift. Mt. Bachelor has since grown to be one of the largest ski resorts in the United States. The resort boasts a wide variety of terrain, allowing guests to ski or ride 360 degrees off the summit, hike the adjoining cinder cone for a well-earned run down, or ski the trees off the western bowls to find that great cache of powder.

Visit Mt. Bachelor in the winter for a multitude of snow sports and activities. Snow tubing, snow shoeing, dog sledding, downhill and Nordic skiing, and snowboarding.

Mt. Bachelor offers a variety of dining options including Eagan’s Outpost, a mobile kitchen. Grab a cup of coffee the Subie Shack java hut, visit one of three bars and cafes in the West Village, or stop by the Sunrise Grill and the Sun Bar at Sunrise Lodge.

Whitewater Rafting:

Create unforgettable memories during your visit to Central Oregon. Take the iconic Big Eddy whitewater rafting trip on the beautiful Deschutes River. This trip easily fits into a morning or afternoon, and we love seeing families return every summer for their annual Big Eddy Thriller! Ride class III rapids through three river miles of old-growth forests and lava rock formations. Or take our Raft and Brew Trip for adventurers 21+.

Additionally, reserve a space on our four and a half-hour ride in the North Umpqua Forest. Our guides and most avid guests consider this all-day rafting trip a rare and unique opportunity to adventure off of the beaten path. This breathtaking trip on the North Umpqua River features the scenery of old-growth forest and towering rock spires. Also, don’t miss an opportunity to jump in the river courtesy of Jumper Rock!

Catch a ride from our Bend store to catch class II and III rapids on the McKenzie River. The McKenzie River is a glittering jewel set on the western side of the Cascade Mountains, and sparkling, continuously active waters of the McKenzie are so clear, reflected daylight seems to come up from the riverbed itself. Prepare to be captivated!

Stand up Paddleboarding:

If you are not feeling the whitewater thrills, try one of our guided stand up paddleboard tours! Explore a beautiful and peaceful stretch of the Deschutes River between Dillon and Benham Falls while gaining the unique perspective of a SUP board. Our SUP Tour includes transportation from our Bend Headquarters, high-quality equipment, and expert guidance. You will be able to truly appreciate the beauty of the crystal-clear Upper Deschutes and its incredibly diverse environment from the vantage of a paddleboard.
