Deschutes

Within the regions of the United States, Deschutes is distinguished by the meeting of Oregon’s high desert and the volcanic Cascade Range. The Deschutes River runs north through central Oregon, cutting a corridor through dry juniper country before joining the Columbia River. Bend, the county seat, is the area’s main urban centre, with a former mill district now adapted for shops, dining and events. West of town, Newberry National Volcanic Monument preserves lava flows, cinder cones and the Newberry Caldera, evidence of the volcanic processes that shaped this part of Oregon.
