The pain of the climb is worth the gain - epic views of the Smith Rock basin and the Cascade Mountains in the distance. Once you are on the top, you'll have easy access to Monkey Face - a gorgeous column of rock that often has climbers hanging from its precipices.

This renowned trail offers breathtaking vistas of Crooked River National Grassland and the grand Cascades, accessible from Gray Butte Trailhead or Cole Loop Trail. A haven for runners, riders, and bikers, but exercise caution on steep, rocky terrain and avoid it after heavy rain, when the clay and sand become treacherous “gumbo.”
