Before you go

Use the live details that matter

  • Do not put Tumalo Falls, the Cascade Lakes, and downtown into one day.
  • Use the clearest morning for high-country views and leave a museum, cave, or climbing gym ready for weather changes.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Drake Park and Downtown Bend Walk information.
