I left. Hit up Ski Bowl at night after a powder day. Also if you can travel to Willamette after a good storm do it. Meadows is where its at though.

food carts and voodoo n shit if you're in Portland. go hike and camp somewhere. if you like to mountain bike, Oregon is one of the best places in the country to do so.

Hike up angels rest in the gorge. The gorge is really cool and angels rest is has a pretty incredible view. I have lived here my whole life and I still go up there at least a couple times a year. Just google it and you will find the trail.

Idk rastkeller in government camp makes a mean Fucking burger everything hand made...cheap as well, especially for the size. Biased opinion due to the fact I have never had a KILLER BURGER.

Silver Falls State park is the largest state park in Oregon and the best concentration of huge falls. If politics had been a little different silver falls would be a national park. It is worth the detour and it is not far from highway 22 which you will probably use to get to Bend from the valley.

Bring your skateboard.  So many sick parks throughout Oregon.  They are seriously everywhere.
