One of the best things about our backyard is just how much there is to see and do within 45 minutes—and Smith Rock State Park is one of our crown jewels. World-class climbing, incredible hiking, jaw-dropping views, and an energy that’s hard to describe until you’re standing in the middle of it. Catch a sunrise, stay for a sunset, or experience Smith Rock under a full moon. The best part? It’s close enough to make the trip on a whim. Remember being spontaneous? Here’s your excuse. Get out there, soak it in, and we’ll see you at the Rock!
