Central Oregon is a climbing area in Oregon, about 3 miles from the town of Bend. It sits within easy reach of several other outdoor spots, so it works well as a base for a day of climbing, hiking or time on the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bend show July highs around 84°F with lows near 49°F, and only about two wet days a month from July through September. Winters are cold, with January highs around 43°F and a few snow days each month from December through February. The Central Oregon Historic Canal Trail starts just 0.4 miles away, and the Trail of Lled is about 1.4 miles off. Climbers can head to Stevens Cave, roughly 1.6 miles away, or the Depot climbing area, about 2.8 miles away.
