Gazing over the Crooked River and its remarkable volcanic rock formations, Smith Rock's flagship trail is nothing short of extraordinary. The view is simply splendid, making it the ideal locale for a memorable keepsake photograph.

Hiking

The pain of the climb is worth the gain - epic views of the Smith Rock basin and the Cascade Mountains in the distance. Once you are on the top, you'll have easy access to Monkey Face - a gorgeous column of rock that often has climbers hanging from its precipices.
