What an amazing tour. We got the perfect spring day and saw some incredible snow covered mountains…read moreand great river views. Scott was an awesome guide and made sure that we all felt safe on the electric bikes before we started the tour going over how to operate them in detail. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bend looking for a really fun activity for a few hours.

I could not speak more highly of Cody and Day One Outdoors…read more As an owner/operator of an adventure guide service in another part of the country, believe me when I say that Cody is among the best. It was a thrill to watch him work. His knowledge & skills in-person match an already impressive resume, equipment is top notch, and personally he's just an awesome guy to hang out with. It's abundantly clear that Cody has invested his blood, sweat and tears into his business. That's something that only happens when someone cares immensely about sharing his love of the outdoors with his customers. Without a doubt, Day One has my business for life. Thanks again, Cody!

I have fished many places and caught many types of fresh and saltwater species, but never…read moreMackinaws. A friend and I booked with Cody and let me tell you, he is a very nice fella, skilled in his art and compassionate about conserving Central Oregon's fishing resources. His equipment is top notch, his knowledge and ability to explain the game plan, how the equipment works and knowledge of the fishery is very impressive. Did I mention safety? His boat and seamanship is all about safety and comfort. If you have a chance to book a trip with Cody, do it. You won't regret the fishing experience and the chance to catch a "Bucket List" fish.

This place was awesome.

I've taken a private…read moreguided tour here before and had a great experience and probably should've written them up then however, recently I scheduled the second tour about a year later and accidentally showed up a week early. This was totally my mistake. I had set my mind up to not bike that day once I realized the error However Lara was so gracious and kind about my mistake. She immediately walked me over to the office and started trying to figure out what else we could do. She really want the extra mile and ended up coordinating bikes from the hotel, recommending a route since now we wouldn't have a guide, and offering to drive us up if we weren't able to catch the shuttle. There's no place I will rent a bike in Bend besides here thank you Cog Wild.

They explained everything thoroughly and made me feel comfortable and confident about jumping. That's important if you are like me and have never done anything like this before. I mentioned that I was Veteran and they gave me a 25% off discount on everything. I bought the video of my jump and it could not have been done better: great job!! I even bought one of their t shirts to commemorate my experience. I am a totally satisfied customer and knocked 1 more thing off my bucket list; now I can't wait to come back and do it again.

I stopped by this park with my partner and his family while we were visiting Bend. It's a nice…read morelittle area with a few spots to sit. The big attraction is obviously the whitewater rapids, which had some river surfers and kayaks going through. There is plenty of street parking by the park. It's all free. There is also a public bathroom in the park, but I didn't use it so I can't say how clean it is. This is a pretty peaceful and surprisingly clean park. It's definitely worth a trip if you're looking for a chill and peaceful way to spend some time.

One of the very rare "true alpine" rock climbs in Oregon…read more North is, by far, the hardest of the Sisters. The other two are, more-or-less, long walk-ups. NOT so with North. We encountered legit ice climbing (in the bowling alley) in addition to traversing sketchy high-angle snow slopes and climbing up rock of questionable quality. The summit, oddly, actually has wonderful rock quality...unlike the entire rest of this jenga-stacked mountain. You have to be able to improvise on this mountain, it's not very straight-forward as far as protecting it with a rope is concerned. I would NOT recommend climbing it without a rope either. It's very close to Middle Sister, you can camp on the saddle between the two if you want to do both. Just note that even though the gain from the saddle to the summit isn't huge, it's deceptive. It'll probably take the whole day to summit and come back down again.

I have attempted to summit the north sister in the summer twice... it's out of my league. The last…read more300ish yards of this hike is a sheer cliff so without a rope or any climbing gear or knowledge your SOL on summiting. A couple things that are worth mentioning are the fact that there are no close roads and the terrain/rocks on this mountain are super eroded. I have stepped on a massive three-foot wide boulder and had it slide right on down the mountain. So if your climbing with a friend, watch out for falling rocks. Both times we have hiked up this mountain we camped out the night before as the hike to the base is a long one itself. This is the backcountry, so there are no roads or camping spots. So you will want to be prepared with light gear and portable food. If you are not experienced in mountaineering this is a good mountain to avoid. The weekend after I last attempted to summit this one, an experienced mountaineer died on the same ridge we were on. So it's no joke. But if you do head on out, you will be amazed at the rock formations that you will find. I would imagine that this is a geologist's dream! I couldn't tell you what I was looking at half the time, but it was volcanic and beautiful. This is wilderness land, so you will want to be respectful of the wildlife and pack out what you pack in. Also be extra cautious as help is not close and cell reception is dodgy. Overall I am stoked to have experienced this mountain, but won't be back until I take a mountaineering course or two.

We marveled at a new viewpoint of Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top, the three Sisters (Charity, Hope and Faith), Mt. Washington, Black Butte, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Jefferson, and Mt. Hood... we even saw Mt. Adams in Washington state. All white with new snow. Even the view on the imposing Smith Rock from the high vantage point was spectacular. Garrett asked me to help inflate the 180,000 cubic foot balloon, and having this hands-on experience was kinda cool. This flying (or floating) in a hot air balloon experience was epic!!! But what made this 5-star, was the crew. Darren and Garrett were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and really made this memorable based on how they treated their passengers. Darren answered all the crazy questions in flight, with a genuine smile and rich answers. Garrett's hugest asset is his personality, humor, and enthusiasm. He had us cracking-up with laughter from start to finish. If you want a balloon flight, I am sure there are multiple options. If you want an amazing "experience," then book with Big Sky Balloon Company. Thank you Darren and Garrett. You guys ROCK!!!
