The Dihedrals & Morning Glory Wall at Smith Rock:

Sightseeing, hiking and rock climbing at Smith Rock State Park.

Smith Rock is composed of welded rhyolite tuff, compressed volcanic ash. I lived in Portland during Mt St Helen's eruptions,
and remember quite clearly the difficulties ash created when she erupted. How nice to imagine something so
beautiful coming out of all that.
