Bridge Over the River Smith Rock State Park Bend Oregon

Smith Rock is truly one of Oregon’s crown jewels, renowned worldwide as a premier destination for rock climbing. Towering volcanic rock spires pierce the sky, casting dramatic shadows across the winding Crooked River below. Whether you're hiking the steep and iconic Misery Ridge Trail, enjoying a gentle stroll along the River Trail, or simply soaking in the views from the top of the canyon rim, every angle of this park is a photographer’s dream and a nature lover’s delight.

The high desert climate gives the landscape a unique golden glow, especially in the early morning or golden hour light, when the rugged textures of the cliffs come alive. Wildlife such as golden eagles, mule deer, and river otters are often spotted in and around the park, adding a touch of wild wonder to the already stunning environment.

Ranger Sarah has found a nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus). They are increasingly common in Missouri, particularly in the southern and central regions of the state. Their range has been expanding north, possibly due to warmer weather and climatic changes.

Great Egret Is More Green Than I Knew

I guess I never looked too closely at the Great Egret photos I've taken or maybe the West Coast egrets aren't so green around the eyes.
