Explore Bend – Whychus Creek Overlook

Short and sweet, this scenic hike gives you “big bang for your buck” vibes with stunning views for (very) minimal effort. It is the perfect outing for families with small children, relatives visiting, or anyone you want to impress with a “This is Why I love Central Oregon” kind of tour! You will have stunning views of the Sisters and Broken Top, along with a glimpse of the rushing Whychus Creek in the valley below.

The trailhead is 5 miles from the charming little town of Sisters, Oregon. Make a day trip out of it and grab coffee with pastries in town before hitting the trail or treat yourself after your adventure with a tasty lunch and cold beer at one of Central Oregon’s many breweries!

My friend and I made a morning of it and took our children (ages ranging from 2 to 7) along for the fun! The kids had a blast and we snapped a few adorable shots along the way!
