SISTERS OREGON
Sisters is the popular 'old west' town that sits at the base of the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains. The town gets its name from the majestic Three Sisters mountains which tower over the small quaint town. Sisters Oregon features many gift, antique and specialty retail shops, along with many restaurants and even a movie theater and spa that are guranteed to stop traffic coming down the Santiam Pass Highway. The annual Outdoor Quilt Show is one of the biggest and most popular quilt shows in the country happening every August. Don't forget to check out the other events including the Sisters Rodeo, Art Strolls, Summer Faires, Bead & Antique Shows, Western and Native American Festival, Folk and Jazz Festivals, Sisters in Sisters, Harvest Faire, and the Holiday Tree Lighting and Parade.

Oregon Scenic Byways: 
The McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass loop is a National Scenic Byway. Though accessible from cities west of the Cascades, Sisters is the place to begin this beautiful drive through two Cascade passes, past lava flows, and through 10,000-foot peaks. This loop can easily be driven in 3-5 hours, but plan to take longer if you want to enjoy all it has to offer. Total distance of the trip is 82 miles. The best time is July-October as McKenzie Pass is closed in the winter months. McKenzie Pass is closed to vehicles over 35 feet in total length and is not advised for trailers.
