Hi there!

We are Rand & Franziska.
And we are the creators of Bend Explored.

We built Bend Explored to help both, locals and visitors, explore Bend Oregon inside and out. On this site, you’ll find mouth-watering food guides featuring all the must-try places, outdoor guides with everything you need to take off on your daily adventures, and much more.

Perched on the east side of the Cascade Mountains, Bend Oregon has long been touted as one of the top outdoor towns in the USA.

Let’s just say there are endless options when it comes to exploring the great outdoors. If you prefer a mellow day, the city has plenty to enjoy—whether it’s a brewery tour, relaxing in a coffee shop, or enjoying local events.
