Smith Rock


View of Smith Rock-- a rock climbers paradise. This is the view from the trailhead. It's about an 8 mile hike around the entire park, and we watched climbers ascending the various monoliths as we hiked. We decided to take the beefy, most-difficult ascent to "Monkey Face" monolith. It was 96 degrees this day. Ouch. We almost ran out of water even with our Camelbaks on.

Looks like the homesteaders' ranch in "Pale Rider".
