The town of Sisters is
located in the foothills of the
Oregon Cascades in one of the fastest growing
regions in the state. Situated approximately 30 miles outside of
Bend and surrounded by the
Deschutes National Forest, the town has gained a reputation for superb
recreational opportunities. Mountain biking is particularly popular in this
area. The Sisters Ranger District maintains more than 50 trails ranging from
expert- to novice-level terrain. Birding, horseback riding, fly fishing and
river rafting are also ideal in the Deschutes National Forest’s high, arid
terrain. Named after three nearby
mountains, Faith, Hope and Charity (now referred to simply as “The Three
Sisters”), the origins of the town date back to the late 1800s and the
establishment of a military installment called Camp Polk. The town’s name
was officially changed to “Sisters” in 1888, yet residential growth remained
slow until 1901, when the city was platted. In 1923, fire swept through the
city, destroying half its infrastructure. Although many of the town’s
residents left, a few stayed to see it rebuilt and in 1946, the town of
Sisters was officially incorporated.
These days, its old West motif and vintage
storefront facades add to its fame. Surrounded by tall, sweeping landscapes
of Ponderosa pines and spectacular mountain vistas, Sisters has become one
of Oregon’s premier small-town destinations. Its vibrant art community is
supported by more than 10 different galleries and numerous arts and music
festivals. Jazz, folk music, art shows and Native American arts
presentations are featured each year.
Accommodations in
Sisters include resort-style ranches, inns, hotels and motels. Sisters’
varied cuisine and proximity to the city of Bend provide almost unlimited
choices for dining,
attractions and enjoyable evening entertainment. |
