オレゴンの峡谷・トップ20

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.

Chanticleer Point overlooks Rooster Rock State Park and the Columbia River. A great spot for a break and some pictures!

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

Well worth the effort with sweeping views of the rock formations and distant mountains. Be sure to carry extra water in the summer months as the trail is quite exposed.

From the desolation of Misery Flat near Glass Buttes, the South Fork Crooked River embarks on a 76-mile journey north. Joining forces with Beaver Creek and the North Fork Crooked River, it carves a path through the Ochoco and Maury Mountains, passing by Post and Prineville, finally reaching us here at Smith Rock before becoming a part of the Deschutes River system.

Misery Ridge Trail, aptly renamed “Awesome” Ridge, reveals its true glory atop the 3,360-foot summit, an appellation well-earned.
