Oregon Badlands Wilderness
Bend, OR | active | 1 to 4 hours
The Oregon Badlands Wilderness, designated by Congress in 2009, protects 29,180 acres of ancient lava flows, juniper woodland, and open shrub-steppe east of Bend. Five trailheads access 50 miles of hiking and horseback routes crossing the wilderness, with the Badlands Rock Trailhead serving as the primary entry point. The landscape is otherworldly — black basalt formations, gnarled juniper snags, and wind-scoured ridges that open into sweeping views. October through May is the ideal season, when temperatures are comfortable and wildflowers bloom in spring. Summer heat can be severe; bring ample water for any hike. No facilities, no fee.
