"A million views to be had." Bill Duffey Fly Fishing Central Oregon

Bend is a great town to work and play! You can enjoy many outdoor activities from floating and fishing down the Deschutes River or biking on the miles of trails in the National Forrest. A million views to be had. Not many places you can go ski Mt. Bachelor in the morning and play golf in afternoon. Summer concerts at the Old Mill are a fantastic way to enjoy Bend with friends and family.

Colleen McNally

"How far can I go? Right, Canada, left, Mexico..." Colleen McNally horseback with Kona in the Cascade Mountain Range in Central Oregon

Living in Central Oregon allows me to practice the perfect balance between work, play and relaxation. The atmosphere for work here is professional, yet dressed down so people are more at ease yet still possess all the talent and savvy as bigger cities. For fun, Central Oregon recreational lifestyle just can't be beat. I literally can bike, horseback ride, hike, ski and snowmobile out my back door. How far can I go? Right, Canada, left, Mexico but not that I need to as all the fun I need is right here. And at the end of any day, I can chill out with great scenery and good food in a mellow, peaceful atmosphere.
