Transportation:
We highly recommend that you consider renting a car while you are in Central Oregon. A car is wonderful if you plan on sightseeing while you are here or if you are not a bicyclist or a walker. Bend is a vacation destination for many people in the know because there is something for everyone, such as: Mt. Bachelor ski resort 20 minutes from town, 100 beautiful lakes within a 50 mile radios, several extensive lava flows in our area and one just south of town, 26 Championship golf courses, the nearby old western town of Sisters is a shoppers delight, and the High Desert Museum (to name just a few) can make the days off really fun-filled and worth the rental car.
The School loans mountain bicycles to its interested students.
The School is 30 minutes from town (walking) and 20 minutes on a bicycle. The walk to the school is uphill. Most students welcome the walk before and after the day in the baking room and taste testing what they have made.
