As I see fall nearing its end in New York, I remember this beautiful autumn scene in Bend, Oregon.
••
If you’re in Bend, drive or hike to the top of Pilot Butte to get a panoramic view of the whole town, as well as the forests and mountains beyond.
••
Though Bend has a population of 95,000, you really never feel it while you’re in town. There’s much more of a small-town vibe, and the nature that surrounds everything reminds you you’re never far from the rugged outdoors. Worth a visit for sure.
