Although I wasn’t brave enough to venture down any of Smith Rock’s trails, the cliffs and rockfaces made for some truly unbelievable photographs.

I did, however, manage to spy with my little Tamron (18-200mm)’s eye, two hikers brave enough to make their way up one of the trails. Talk about having guts!

I also spotted this little lizard while I was there.
