Hike Tumalo Mountain for Stunning Cascade Mountain Views
The Hike to Tumalo Mountain Still Has Snow 6-22-24
After a winter which had good snowfall, hiking into the high Cascades has been delayed due to the snow accumulation. However, the warm days experienced over the past week have aided snow melt. Last Saturday, June 22, 2024, enough snow had melted on Tumalo Mountain to enable hikers to walk the 1450 feet of elevation gain in two miles from the trailhead to the top. It appeared as if half the time the trail was covered by snow, but it was fairly easy to follow the route until the last 1/2 mile; GPS helped navigate this as did microspikes over ice.The hike up Tumalo Mountain is only 2 miles, but the views from the top toward South and Middle Sister, Broken Top, and Mt Bachelor can be spectacular. For those who take the hike early in the day, often the only people at the top are those in your group. Tumalo Mountain is a great way to begin the summer hiking in the Cascades.

Bend Oregon Real Estate | January 2024 Trends
Bend Home Prices Leveling Off
The January 2024 Bend real estate market shows some stabilization. Although the average and median price per square foot are both up, the average and median sales price on sold homes comparing January 2024 to January 2023 show little movement. The issue most Bend home buyers are still dealing with is lack of inventory which provides few choices for people looking to purchase. Although mortgage interest rates have come down from the high rates pushing 8% seen last fall, they are still in the mid sixes which also impact the purchasing power for home buyers.
When the January 2024 sales for Bend single family homes on less than an acre are compared with those from January 2023, the following changes can be seen:
- Average sales price down 1.9% to $842,669*
- Median sales price up 1.5% to $699,950
- New listings down 14.7% to 99
- Homes for sale down 28.4% to 204
