Titles, titles, titles.....

A tight comp of the larger section of Smith Rock. Crooked River at base, Ship Rock on the right.

Not as primeval looking as the other section which is to the left, but it is higher, larger and impressive as well. The fun Misery Trail crosses over the top of it toward Monkey Face on the other side.

Fun to watch the cliff climbers here and around much of Smith Rock.

Have a Super weekend!

One of many great trails at Smith Rock. Probably the easiest....definitely one of the most beautiful.

The river leads the eye to red Ship Rock ahead, which is where most of the trails start, in many directions.

Waterfowl, song birds, otters, muskrats along and in the river with raptors above.

The ancestral Crooked River helped create the crags and pinnacles in this park by eroding the interior of a volcanic vent over millions of years.

Happy Friday!

While on top of The Rock here's a view at sunrise of this iconic red pinnacle that anchors the larger portion of Smith Rock, with the Crooked River flowing at it's base.

From rock climbing, hiking, photography, wildlife and bird watching, fishing, painting or just sitting taking this unique setting in there is always plenty to do at Oregon's impressive Smith Rock.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
