Smith Rock SP

On our third day in Bend we drove north about 30 miles to Smith Rock State Park which is north of Redmond. We were very pleased with our decision to visit here because it truly is an outstanding hiking venue. Here the Crooked River snakes around through deep canyon walls in a desert environment. We hiked down into the canyon, across a footbridge, and on a trail that follows the river through the canyon. Along the way we saw several rock climbers and, in fact, Smith Rock SP is a world renown rock climbing venue – truly a beautiful hiking spot. Click HERE to see more pictures of Smith Rock.
