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.

The greenest I have ever seen the lakes has been under cloudy skies, so don’t be afraid to hike this one when the skies are gray. Green Lakes is not typically accessible until mid-June due to snow. A Central Cascades permit is required for hiking to Green Lakes between June 15 and October 15.

Todd Lake offers an excellent short hike around its shore, with views of Mt Bachelor and Broken Top along the way. An excellent spot for playing in the water, having a picnic or fishing for brook trout. While Todd Lake does not require a wilderness permit, you will need one to access the Todd Trail which leads to high alpine destinations like Green Lakes and Broken Top.

Trails on both side of the creek offer different views of Paulina Falls. It's worth the short hike down the Peter Skene Ogden Trail from the top to catch a glimpse of the north side.

The geologic history of Oregon on display as you walk this trail is incredible. Interpretative signs explain many facets of the unique landscape - from the eruption history to the flora and fauna that live there. The volcanic history of Central Oregon is told here, and it is worth a stop!

This large bowl shaped falls is particularly beautiful in the winter, when snow and ice covers the rocks. Recent warm temperatures reduced the ice levels, but it was still quite beautiful to see all covered in snow.

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