Central Oregon – Smith Rock State Park – Looking Down on Gorgeous River Canyon – 4K

My goal of these wilderness trail videos is to 1) show reverence for the beauty of the land, and 2) give YOU actionable trail information that can assist you in planning your own hike here.

This was a day-hike in Central Oregon, Smith Rock State Park, starting at Wolf Tree Trailhead and hiking an out and back exploring the East side of the Park with moderate elevation gain. Weather was a low of 38, high of 51, mildly to moderately windy, partial blue sky changing to grey clouds and ultimately raining. This was hiked on 11/5/2021 with fall colors in transition or full bloom, trail was completely clear of snow, and there were NO Mosquitoes! As far as road conditions, it could not be more easy, paved roads all the way to the parking lot. In my opinion, the road most definitely DOES NOT require 4-Wheel Drive. As far as permits, the Wolf Tree Trailhead DOES NOT require a Recreation.gov permit.
