I need help missing the mountains. PLEASE HELP!

I'm in Bend, Oregon right now. I want to go to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Which city would I "aim" my GPS for, if I want to miss the mountains in Oregon?
 
Can someone help me with this

Can someone too stupid to read a map be expected to set up a GPS?

Go to route preferences on the GPS, uncheck shortest route or quickest time and select maintain elevation under 5000 feet.

Yeah, isn't Bend, Oregon, on the other side of the Cascades anyway, so she won't go through any mountains in Oregon until she hits the Rockies a state further east?

Okay, I nadined it; I thought Bend was way over on the eastern edge of Oregon, but I was wrong--it's more like in the center of that state.

Bend is located on the eastern edge of the Cascade Range along the Deschutes River. Here the Ponderosa Pine forest transitions into the high desert, characterized by arid land, junipers, sagebrush, and bitter-brush.

It appears she's already on the other side of the mountains in Oregon anyway, though, as I thought.

Yes idiot, it's a matter of using an ancient technology called a "MAP".  You pre-recon your route and.....miss...the...mountains...

if possible.  Now, stand by for the bad part.  

Missing the mountains may not be an option, just like having to fund stupid, counterproductive lIbeRaL unicorn rodeos.

You. May. Have. To. Drive. Through. Them.   ..........

I've always wondered what a (D)Umbass Wagon Train might look like traversing the Oregon Trail......

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I read this to my husband because he's in the navigation business.  And his response was, "What the ****?"
