Strongly suggest you walk this trail clockwise. This means you descend on steps rather than very slippy gravel & sand.

Smith Rock is one of the most beautiful places in Central Oregon.

From this spot on the Chute (a short connector trail), you get truly magnificent views over the park. There is also a bathroom and water fountain near here, making this a great place to stop, snap some photos, and grab a drink.

One of the best things to do at Smith Rock is to watch the climbers. Seeing them on the slack line high above the canyon is especially fun to watch.

The long climb out to Gray Butte is a favorite for local trailrunners.

The Crooked River meanders slowly through the Smith Rocks, providing a home for herons, mergansers, geese and other birds.

Discover Crenson Viewpoint nestled just below Gray Butte Summit. Behold exceptional vistas showcasing the beauty of the Cascades, Ochocos, and expansive high desert. This spot invites you to immerse yourself in the diverse and captivating landscapes of Central Oregon.

This renowned trail offers breathtaking vistas of Crooked River National Grassland and the grand Cascades, accessible from Gray Butte Trailhead or Cole Loop Trail. A haven for runners, riders, and bikers, but exercise caution on steep, rocky terrain and avoid it after heavy rain, when the clay and sand become treacherous “gumbo.”
