Crooked River Gorge is a 500-foot-deep gorge located around Warm Springs and Smith Rock State Park, Central Oregon, United States. The gorge is surrounded by 400-foot cliffs filled with a variety of wildlife. The upper part of the Crooked River Gorge, which are also popular among climbers, are made of columnar basalt cliffs eroded by the Crooked River since the Newberry volcanic eruption 1.2 million years ago.
