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.

The Way Back On Misery Ridge

(Not miserable at all, apart from the several danger noodles which came out into the evening sun after most of the people had left, rattling next to the path...)

Violet-green Swallows at Smith Rock State Park in Central Oregon.

A small, roundish swallow perched on a branch, facing the camera. Its beak is slightly open. It has a pure white breast and a green cap.Another swallow perched on a branch, slightly tilting its head. It is a side-view and this time you can see then green extends from its head down its back to its wings before fading into purple.A different side-view of the swallow showing a bit of the iridescence of the coloring of its green wings.

A group of river otters that I saw recently at Smith Rock State Park in Oregon.

A group of five river otters walking in the bank of the river. A few are looking across at the viewer. Two otters sitting on a rock in the river while a third swims next to the rock. A river otter with its head sticking out of the water and the claws of a crayfish sticking out of its mouth.
