Restaurants & cafés
Hola!
The downtown anchor of a small Central Oregon group serving a Mexican-Peruvian menu, so you can order enchiladas at one end of the table and ceviche or lomo saltado at the other. Big margaritas and a lively, family-friendly room.
The Open Door
A wine bar and Pacific-Northwest kitchen sharing a courtyard with an art gallery, with wood-fired pizzas, small plates, and a long pour list. The tucked-away patio with its nooks and farm tables is the reason to come.
Trails & outdoors
Peterson Ridge Trailhead
The in-town trail network just across Whychus Creek on the south edge of Sisters, with miles of gentle loops through ponderosa and high-desert juniper. Shared with mountain bikers, it is the easy daily walk or run locals use.
Metolius River Trail
A nearly flat path tracing the impossibly clear Metolius downstream from Camp Sherman past spring-fed side waterfalls and through old-growth forest. One of the prettiest easy river walks in Central Oregon, good out-and-back at any length.
Things to do
The Belfry
A 1914 wooden church converted into an intimate 200-seat music hall, with excellent acoustics and beer and wine served at the back. The room hosts touring folk, indie, and jazz acts in a setting where every seat is close.
Hood Avenue Art
A cooperative gallery on the arts strip showing more than twenty Central Oregon artists across painting, ceramics, photography, and mixed media. The work rotates often and the artists themselves frequently staff the room.
Landmarks & sights
Stitchin' Post
The family-run quilt and fiber-arts shop that turned Sisters into a quilting town and spawned the giant July outdoor quilt show. Two floors of fabric, finished quilts on the walls, and a back room full of classes, so it reads as much like a small museum as a store.
Head of the Metolius
A quarter-mile paved path ends at a railing where the Metolius River simply appears, full-size and spring-fed, out of the ground at the foot of Black Butte. The water runs gin-clear and cold year-round, with the snowy peak framed straight behind it.
