Shoot the surreal landscape hiking along the river at Smith Rock State Park. Afterward, kick your feet up on the wooden porch at Juniper Junction with one of their famous huckleberry ice cream cones .

I can highly recommend taking the river trail if you're not that experienced with hiking .

Neat hiking trails , and for the hardy, you can climb the rock face about 500 feet up!

Second to none sport climbing . Thousands and thousands of bolted routes in the difficulty sweet spot. This is world class rock.

Don't let the name fool you, Misery Ridge is incredibly memorable. If you like to climb , grab three friends and guide hire a local guide for the day.

Amazing park with breathtaking views and challenging hikes , well maintained and not too crowded .

One of my favorite parks . Misery Ridge isn't as bad a hike as it sounds, but make sure you have plenty of water and sunscreen .

Amazing hikes . Very accessible. Bring cash, or pay via card at the volunteer tent.

Beautiful views ! Parking was way more of a hassle than I had anticipated, but if you get there early enough then it should be okay.

Scenic mountains , but we were not able to see or hike much on a very hot day. $5 day parking fee.

Misery trail to river trail is a nice 5 mile loop, watch the rock climbers from Monkey face down

Take a hike around and watch all the climbers , or take a somewhat strenuous hike to the top for gorgeous views

Words can't explain how beautiful this place is. Thank you God!

Awesome park . Take the Misery trail for a pretty decent challenge.

Great for hiking and climber watching too!

The hard way is still pretty easy, a bit of a climb but mostly switchbacks.

According to one new Oregonian, "This was my first site upon moving to Bend. The towering red rock walls with the winding river below made me realize I was finally home!"

fun hikes , beautiful scenery , very popular

Best rock climbing in oregon

Don't eat the squirrels, they are for decoration only!

Run the Misery Ridge Loop...sure to take the wind out of your sails .

This park’s 20-million-year-old stone pinnacles are a haven for sport climbers worldwide. Among its most famous is the 350-foot spire known as “Monkey Face .(From Aerial America) Read more
