I remember going on a hike on the weekend when a friend suggested that we go hiking while staying in Portland for two months. Located in the desert about 230 kilometers southeast of Portland, Oregon, it is in the spotlight as the most popular hiking course in Oregon. Smith Rock is also a landmark symbolizing the Pacific Crest Trail, which stretches over 4,200 kilometers across California, Oregon, and Washington. #효도협. #Yunnan Province Travel #Lijiang Travel #Jeju Olle Trail #Seoraksan National Park. #Solo Travel #Gapado #Biyangdo Backpacking #Mountain Lover

This is a very famous rock climbing place in Oregon, USA. Due to the special mountain structure, many rock climbers take pets in the mountains to meet and rock climbing every year. At that time, due to time and physical strength, they did not go to the mountains to meet them. I feel that it must be very lively.
