oh... thats why its called the monkey face...

It may "never rain at Smith". but it does occasionally snow there...The bodies on the bridge are the AMGA (guides in training)

After days of smokey fires, the rain came and cleared things up. A great view from the Monkeys mouth.

Don't miss a Smith Rock sunrise!

"Grasslands" campground (officially known as Skull Hollow) is complete with picnic tables and large iron fire pits at most campsites. Good place to camp if you like to hang out with a nice fire under the moon after a long day of climbing.

came for the climbing, loved the birds. organized swallow chaos at snake rock.
