This video marks the first of many to come from BackyardBend, Recreation Leader – Trevor Christianson, and Central Oregon 360: our new project with the mission to simplify and amplify paths to discovering Central Oregon; strengthen community through recreation, and inspire personal growth and connection through nature.

In this video, Trevor Christianson takes us on an unforgettable adventure on the Deschutes River with Seventh Mountain Rafting. As Trevor (@RecreationLeader) learns the flow of the river, he shares how the outdoors can build resilience and foster a deeper sense of purpose; while celebrating those who work tirelessly to protect and share the beauty of Central Oregon’s waterways.

Our thanks to Subaru of Bend, Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe, and Idaho First Bank for making these videos and the Central Oregon 360 project possible.
