Road Trip: Redmond

If excellent cycling, great food and shopping are your kind of fun, put Redmond on your road trip roster.

Redmond

Bend’s smaller neighbor to the north, Redmond has a sunny high desert attitude year-round.

The little town of 27,000 people sits just off of Highway 97 between the Deschutes and the Ochoco national forests. If excellent cycling, great food and shopping are your kind of fun, put Redmond on your road trip roster.

Ask Oregon

Where should we stop to play golf between Redmond and Bandon?

Before you leave Redmond, I recommend playing the courses at Eagle Crest Resort. The Eagle Crest owners also own Brasada Ranch, which is about 20 minutes east of Eagle Crest and is a fantastically fun golf experience.
