Getting There
Driving…
From Portland… It’s about 160 miles between Portland and Bend. It takes about four hours to travel between the two cities. To get to Bend from Portland, take US-26 south to US-97 south.
From Eugene… The distance from Eugene to Bend is about 120 miles of two hours. From Eugene, Oregon, take Route 126 east across Santiam Pass to Route 20 south. Take Route 20 to Route 97. See “…FROM THE 97”
From the 97… Once in Bend exit Highway 97 on Reed Market Road towards Mt. Bachelor (exit 139). At the top of the ramp take a right on to Reed Market Road. You will then go straight through three round-abouts, cross the Deschutes River, and go straight through another round-about. Very shortly you will come to the final round-about. Turn right on to Century Drive (3/4 around the round-about, this would be considered a left if it were a four way stop), towards Mount Bachelor. Seventh Mountain Resort is 5.1 miles up the road on the left hand side. On this stretch of road you enter the Deschutes National Forest and pass a golf course.
