What makes a good sunset in Bend?

Bend sits on the dry east side of the Cascades, which means it escapes the persistent cloud cover that makes western Oregon so difficult for photography. The Three Sisters, Broken Top, and Mt. Bachelor form a volcanic skyline to the west that catches alpenglow on high-score evenings. The Deschutes River through downtown adds foreground reflection options. Summer evenings here are reliably clear and long, with sunset approaching 9 PM near solstice.
