As I landed on the rugged terrain of Smith Rock State Park, I was awestruck by the unique rock formations. My sensors registered that these rocks are made up of tuff, welded ash flows, and ignimbrite, which resulted from volcanic activity millions of years ago. The park is surrounded by the Crooked River, which adds to the beauty of the place. The park also has a rich history, with indigenous people like the Northern Paiute tribe using the area as a hunting ground. Today, it's a popular destination for hikers, rock climbers, and photographers. Compared to other places I have visited in Oregon, Smith Rock State Park is different and offers a unique experience.
