Smith Rock State Park with its plethora of named, high-difficulty routes is well known to rock climbers worldwide, but not many others seem to be familiar with it. If you ever find yourself in Central Oregon, be sure to visit. Besides the unbelievably steep walls and towering formations, there are quiet places like this where a dusting of snow collects in the shadows as winter settles in.
