Nestled in a forested nook between the snowy Cascade Mountains and Central Oregon's High Desert, the city of Sisters exudes the small-town charm that has made it famous across the nation.

Sisters has become so well known for its scenic beauty and old-time downtown that thousands of visitors each year also flock there to enjoy the year-round pleasures of life in the pines.

In winter, there's downhill skiing and snowboarding at either the Hoodoo Ski Area to the west or Mount Bachelor to the southwest. Because Sisters border the Deschutes National Forest, there are also numerous trails fro cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobile riding.

In summer, those same trails make for some of the best hiking and mountain biking around. Several rivers running through the area are also favorites for fly fishermen.

Warmer temperatures also bring Sisters' annual lineup of popular arts and crafts shows, concerts and festivals. From the famous quilt show and rodeo to the burgeoning folk festival, barely a weekend goes by in which there's not a host of things to do or see.

Many visitors simply enjoy a stroll around downtown, with its unique shops and restaurants.

Sisters has enjoyed a growth spurt in recent years as more people discover the area's bucolic charm.
