Bend’s Annual Holiday Paddle

Bend celebrated its annual holiday paddle on The Deschutes River this past Friday, experiencing an unusually warm day instead of traditional snow and ice. I documented the event with drone footage and photos while maintaining a safe distance from the crowds.

This past Friday, Bend held its annual holiday paddle in the Old Mill District on the Deschutes River. It was packed during the unseasonably warm weather instead of snow and ice. I captured some video and photos with the drone a safe distance out away from the crowds using the camera zoom.
