Redmond, Oregon

Nicknamed “The Hub City,” Redmond is Central Oregon’s second largest city and an increasingly popular destination for those looking to explore the region in a new way. Home to the region’s only commercial airport, Redmond has long been the gateway to Central Oregon, including Bend and the High Desert region’s outdoor wonders. But Redmond has a vibe all its own, with a charming downtown, increasingly diverse set of dining options, a hopping brewery scene, and easy access to the outdoors—including nearby Smith Rock State Park, miles of trails, caves, and waterfalls.
