After visiting Flyte Camp company we drove to Smith Rock State Park. We decided to hike the river trail. The weather was great in the low 80's and not full sun. Walking along the crooked river was beautiful and the dogs had access to the water and could cool of.
This is my favorite picture of the day the lighting was perfect.
What's a hike without seeing one rattle snake?
Nicky says what are you having for lunch, maybe I like that better than what mom packed me.
Nicky cooling off and getting a drink.
I love to take pictures of unusual looking trees.
When we came to the end of the river trail we could go back the way we came or go onto the Misery trail. Jim and Tracy decided to go back and Lee wanted to go the Misery Trail which he claimed would be shorter. Now by now, you would think I should know better and not follow him but I did.
So up we go.
There is still a lot of smoke haze from fires in WA,OR and CA.
Almost to the top.
You can clearly see the trail we are going up.
This is heading down the other side.
Getting close now
You can clearly see the trail we came down.
When we got to the bottom the sign for Misery Trail said most difficult and why were we on the most difficult trail? Because Lee said it was shorter. Well, Jim and Tracy beat us by an hour. So much for that theory.
Nicky and Bailey say bye for now.
