CROOKED RIVER GORGE
Before we headed over to Smith Rock Park, we were told by the locals to check out Crooked River Gorge. We were greeted by this lovely sign before heading over to check out the view.
And here was the view! I mean really. Is everything jaw dropping in Oregon? And this was nothing in comparison to what we saw next.
SMITH ROCK PARK
We just can't believe all of these amazing sights are in the same state!
Joss hanging out enjoying the view.
First we had to make it to the bottom to hike with Auty in the stroller. We made it! And she stayed asleep for the most part, which is the only way to get in a hike under 5 hours. :)
Our first stop before heading down by the river was a Ranger holding a very common Gopher snake in these parts, as well as Rattlesnakes.
A little cave Joss and I hiked up to.
Our view of Erik and Auty below.
This is a rock climbers dream out here!
Probably over a hundred rock climbers were out today. Two of the cliffs were closed for climbing however, due to a Falcons' nest and Golden Eagles' nest that were found on top of the cliffs.
Gorgeous!
You really can't take a bad picture out here.
Joss, our botanist, drawing pictures of plants she found along the way and Auty being nosy.
Finally, a family photo. :)
