Smith Rock State Park (one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon) is a top destination to the north, attracting the world's top rock climbers (as well as hikers and mountain bikers) to its sheer, umber-colored cliffs. The beautiful rock formation with climbers far up the sheer rock walls. Look for slackline walkers at 350 foot Monkey Face teetering hundreds of feet in the air. If you enjoy scenic views of deep river canyons or rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is the place for you.
