Sisters is a breathtaking destination any time of year, but there’s something extra magical about seeing the aspens and cottonwoods take on their fall colors. Oregon in the fall is the perfect time to visit if you’re looking to enjoy the beauty and adventure of Black Butte Ranch without the summer crowds. Whether trying to sneak in one last round of golf or chasing fall color on a hiking trail, a fall visit to our Sisters resort offers a quieter, more intimate side of Central Oregon. Here’s how to make the most of it.
At The Ranch Itself
- Take in the changing leaves on our trails. Explore some of our 24 miles of paved bike paths or wander some of our favorite nature trails. There are options for all ages and fitness levels.
- Play one last round of golf at one of our two championship Oregon golf courses before the season wraps up.
- Go on a guided horseback ride. The knowledgeable guides from Black Butte Stables will take you out on a relaxed outing that’s perfect for a bit of leaf peeping.
- While water is still warm, go kayaking or paddleboarding on Phalarope Lake. Rental gear can be found at the Lakeside Pool.
- Relax by the fire. The best way to end any fall day is by roasting marshmallows and swapping stories about what you did that day.
Things to Do in Oregon
- One of the best ways to enjoy Oregon fall foliage is by driving the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway. The 82-mile route is known for panoramic mountain views.
- Hike to Proxy Falls, an easy 1.5-mile loop trail that goes past two waterfalls. This is one of the most photographed spots in the state.
- Enjoy the idyllic fall weather exploring downtown Sisters. Check out local shops or grab a quick bite to eat at popular restaurants.
