Hiking is a popular activity in Central Oregon for a good reason. No matter the time of year or where you are, you will be guaranteed beautiful views. Each season offers awesome and unique sights, and winter in Oregon is always a special treat. In order to best take advantage of the winter weather, you need to visit some of Central Oregon’s top-tier parks and hiking trails. Your Central Oregon adventure can begin from the steps of Village Properties At Sunriver. When the weather cools down and the snow starts to cover the winter landscape, these parks and hiking trails in Central Oregon are essential to visit.

Steelhead Falls

If you are someone who enjoys the sights and sounds of waterfalls, then head to Steelhead Falls. The falls are less than a mile away from the trailhead, so you won’t have long to travel to see it. Even in the winter, it is an easy stroll. However, like most trails in the winter, you need to be wary of ice patches. 

Boyd Cave

What is wonderful about this cave path is that it stays open through the winter. The entrance to the cave is near the end of a short trail. To see more of the cave, you must climb down a metal staircase. Be sure to bring a flashlight! Besides the staircase, this is an easy hike as well.

Pilot Butte State Park

Pilot Butte is a popular hike in Bend, Oregon. One of the benefits of visiting this attraction is the lack of cars and crowds in the winter. Regardless of the season, it’s always a gorgeous sightseeing spot. It’s a little harder to hike than the other two locations, but it’s also not long, as it stretches about one mile to see most of the butte.
