  2. Overview of Region • Located on the eastern “sunny” side of the Cascade Mountains, Central Oregon’s diverse landscape varies from towering Ponderosa pines and mountain lakes to a high desert landscape filled with the scent of fresh Juniper. • Central Oregon’s tourism inventory is richly diverse and our tourism product evolves seasonally. Deschutes County is host to the largest population base of the region, with the city of Bend renowned as on of the fastest growing Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the nation. • The Redmond Airport is one of the fastest growing regional airports in the nation and will undertake expansion to double the size of the current terminal in 2008. • Central Oregon features more than two dozen golf courses (ranked in the Top 50 Golf Destinations in the World); hundreds of lakes, thousand of acres of National Forest, breathtaking resorts, miles of cycling trails and world class skiing.
