There is so much to do on the ranch itself! If you're looking for easy-to-get-to outdoor activities - there are three nature trails, two golf courses, pools, recreation centers, and horse stables. Ask the Welcome Center for more info on activities at the ranch.
Sisters is a small town about 15 minutes from Black Butte Ranch and one of our favorite spots to stop on our way to ski Mt. Bachelor. Lots of shops and eateries to choose from - but we'd highly recommend a stop at our go-to, Sisters Bakery!
Bend is a fun and hip town about 40 minutes from Black Butte Ranch. There is SO much to do in Bend, including visiting breweries, finding all the food trucks, walking along the riverfront, and lots of shopping. One of our favorite vacation spots - all year long!
SO. MANY. HIKES. All Trails is our favorite app to find the best hikes, but you literally CANNOT go wrong with any of the ones nearby. Smith Rock, Sparks Lake, Tumalo Falls, and the Tamolitch Blue Pool are some of our favorites that we've done!
