Sisters, downtown streets and shopsTowering forests of Ponderosa pines, snowy Cascade Mountains, pristine rivers, lakes and streams, sun drenched days and star-filled western nights - this is the special beauty of Sisters, Oregon. Sisters is located in Central Oregon, 16 miles NW of Bend on HWY 20. Once a lumber producing town, Sisters is now known as the Gateway to the Cascades and is unprecedented with its many specialty stores, galleries and sightseeings.

Whether you enjoy rodeos, mountain climbing, fly fishing, camping, hiking, mountain biking, golfing, rafting, skiing or snowmobiling you’ll find it in the Sisters area. For an escape to the Wild West, Sisters is the annual site of the PRCA sanctioned Sisters Rodeo.

On the edge of town, the Deschutes National Forest offers a 1.6 million acre playground laced with miles and miles of trails, wet and wild rivers, and scenic drives and vistas. Fly fishermen will enjoy fishing on the Metolius River. Hiking in the Three Sisters Wilderness has a scenic allure. Abundant alpine meadows and pristine lakes are scattered all over and in early summer, beautiful wildflowers display a palette of nature’s exuberant colors.

Golfers will be in paradise on the course at Black Butte Ranch. Just 10 miles west of Sisters, the Ranch features some of the best golfing in Oregon, surrounded by outstanding views of Black Butte and the Cascades. Watch for the golfing series in mid summer.

Sisters’ 1880’s theme town charm offers a wide range of adventures and experiences for visitors. Visit Sisters, where old-fashioned hospitality lives on. Unique gifts, talented artists, and awesome antique stores are what you’ll also find and every once in awhile you may even see a celebrity. Tom Selleck’s old ranch is located here even.
