Hi friends,
I'm thinking about heading east this weekend and am looking for hikes in the 10+miles range that might be accessible this time of year (knowing it's still pretty dry out there). I was looking at the Crooked River Ranch area (Otter Bench), but what I'm finding isn't quite as long as I was hoping to find. Would love some suggestions!
Thanks
Longer winter hikes near Bend?

You can get quite a few miles in at the Oregon Badlands Wilderness just east of Bend along Highway 20.

Lookout mountain in the Ochocos from the bottom is 15+ miles. Badlands has a lot of trails but it does get boring after a while. I just did Otter Bench yesterday. Paulina Peak is good, not enough snow for snowmobilers to ruin it for you.
