Rooms from $152 a night.
WORD OF WARNING - Bend can get really expensive in the summer. Make your reservations ASAP! The link will take you to the special prices. They will not hold a block of rooms without a large deposit, so if you can go make your reservations.

We will open up the registrations shortly, to include a credit for dinner and a shirt with swag and more!

Building out the itinerary and will be personally sponsoring a 3 hr pub bus on Thursday night! So if you can add in Thursday it will be worth it!

For anyone headed down from the greater Puget Sound area that may want to go in a pack:

My wife and I are currently thinking about leaving mid to late morning Thursday(about 10ish) from the Museum of Flight parking lot, heading across the mountains, and going south from Ellensburg. Only adds about 45 minutes vs going down I-5 to Portland, and should provide a much more scenic day(at least on the WA side of the trip).

thanks for posting this - i plan to head out thursday - i agree about heading over snoqualmie pass - well worth the extra 35 miles, which will be easily made up with the time savings through portland, or - i tend to keep a quick pace, no stops, except for gas, which i know doesn't work for everyone, so i may be more on the same route vs driving together

here are my 2 suggested routes from north seattle 98115:

faster and direct - 363 miles

longer and more twisties - 390 miles
