Smith Rock

Jamir took a new job! Which means we had a week of vacation. It went by too fast, but we were able to do a last minute camping trip to Smith Rock and the area around it. Last minute camping trips always mean things are forgotten. Like our grill. So we cooked everything on the fire. But it turned out fine and delicious. One person even walked over to us and said they were impressed that we cooked everything over the fire with a little one. 
It was cold (high desert), but fun to explore a different part of Oregon. We didn't budget enough time to do all that we wanted so now we have an excuse to come back.

Go BYU

We did the hike behind us called "Misery Trail". It really was hard

Steep decent 

Steelhead falls. Apparently people swim at the bottom

We forgot a pillow and extra blanket for Ben. We had to buy one or the poor boy would be cold. He slept a long time the next day

Heading to Proxy Falls


Ben seems unimpressed

It's amazing how the scenery can change from desert to lush on the other side of the mountain



the trail. Looks like the trolls in Frozen

We saw this castle on the way with a great view of lava formations and mountains.




He likes his new blanket.
