Hiking
Enjoy the view of one of the most legendary climbing rocks and watch brave climbers and slackliners on Monkey Face! Unfortunately, there was no way to rent climbing equipment during our visit without booking a guide or course. However, climbing shoes and crash pads can be rented at REI in Bend at low prices, and there are routes in the state park and the surrounding area on mountainproject.com. Have fun!

Hiking
Look closely on Monkey Face for climbers. You'll often see them resting in the "mouth".
