Travel guide of Smith Rock State Park
Taken at sunrise in Oregon’s Smith Rock State Park. Beautiful sunrise behind the Cascade mountain range.

Yesterday we took a trip out to Smith Rock State Park to soak in Oregon’s High Desert. It’s the perfect outdoor adventurer’s playground with sheer cliffs made up of volcanic layers of basalt and tuff with the Crooked River cutting it’s way through the canyon. Climbers enjoy this area, and there are many trails for easy to moderate/hard hikes.

The first piece of wild I visited in Oregon, way back in 2012. The trail here is easy and accessible; the memories and learnings since are rugged, overpowering, and constant, and ultimately awesome. Like the river.

Over the summer, my best friend Grant and I went backpacking. I captured this shot naked, shortly before sunset, just after we hopped out of the pools surrounding our camp. It was magical and all too much fun.

Searching for a camp spot, we found a long dirt road that we drove down and discovered this amazing little spot. We cleared it out, and discovered the moss bench (back of photo) and built a fire. Right next to this spot there is a rushing river which makes it the perfect setting to fall asleep to!

I spotted this random formation long ago because of it's boxy shape and the colorful mosses on the cliff face. I recently made it back out to this part of Central Oregon's high desert and took a few photos with my drone. That is some wild geology.

This was taken at a small pull off in Crescent, OR. The view of this mountain (diamond peak) was so far away that it was barely visible in the distance. I got out the biggest lens I had and was amazing to see these wonderful scenes. Weirdly enough it was also snowing. This was in July.

In our first Unsplash Expedition in Portland, we hiked to Trillium Lake in the Mt Hood National Forest. It was a lot of fun to hike to and walk on a frozen lake with fellow photographers, even if the weather wasn’t the best.
