Double fun fact, they’re technically on mountain time and not pacific because of their proximity to Boise[1]

And the southern bit of the same county is back in Pacific time because it's nearer to Nevada. It's one of the few counties in the US with multiple time zones.

If you drive from Bend to, say, Winnemucca, you go from Pacific to Mountain and back to Pacific.
