There are several thousand climbing routes in Smith Rock State Park. More than a thousand are bolted routes. The park also offers miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. When hiking the canyon trails, you might see golden eagles, prairie falcons, mule deer, river otter and beaver. Due to the uniqueness and fragile aspect of the park, park rangers enforce the animal leash law and strongly encourage all park users to stay on trails #1366730

A VERY ENVIOUS DAY I"M HAVING Love this beautiful Capture... I was fascinated by the rock climbers at Devils Tower. It's almost like waiting for a ACCIDENT to Happen when shooting them as you can feel the straining they do through the lens...

HAPPY SHOOTING

Outstanding composition, Denny. The huge rock to the right balanced by the diagonal drop to the left, all accented by the winding river dotted by pristine pines and capped by a goregous blue sky--very inviting. #9335794

Congratulations Denny. My husband came in the room to see this and enjoyed your commentary as we haven't see this POV before. He said he only saw the river this color in spring. We are going to Bend in September for his reunion and will be sure to go to to the overlook. Norm said he really brought back the memories. The image is so sharp. Beautiful! #9422127
