When we decided to drive back from our trip to Washington, we knew that we needed a stopover in between to take a break and since we had couple of days thanks to inclement weather in the Southern Cascades, we decided to stop over at Bend, Oregon. I wanted to get to two of the iconic locations near Bend, Smith Rock state park and Sparks Lake.
We reached Smith Rock around 5am in the morning, well before the first climbers arrived and scopped out some of the hiking trails around to find some photo spots. This one is the most classic view of the rock formations and I took this shot just before the sunrise. The sliver of light was giving a nice glow to the storm clouds that were trapped by the mammoth rock formations. After this shot we pretty much sprinted with all our gear to get to the other locations we scopped out earlier while the light was still good. All in all, we had an amazing time in this park.
