We absolutely loved this park!! Incredible views and great little hikes down to the water. $5.00 a day to enter the park....well worth it!!

Beautiful park with nice hikes. If you dislike heights you can still get pretty close to the monkey face rock by taking the river trail. The fastest and shortest way to the top is not for the faint of heart, though. We were lucky enough to see several bald eagles and a rattlesnake. Tons of rock climbers were testing their... More

This is a great place to go rock climbing, sport or trad. It is only a 6 hour drive from Seattle and has cheap BYOT (bring your own tent) camping. There is also hiking, which can provide views of the Sisters and Mt. Hood on a clear day. I also saw people trail running, but I can imagine that would... More

$5 entrance fee. Weekends may be very crowded with hikers and climbers, parking can be nearly full, with limited options. In early spring, both Golden Eagle and Bald Eagle nests may be observed (park volunteer may be present on Saturday with scope on the Golden nest). Say's Phoebe, Black-billed Magpie, Rock Wren are present. Many trails give access to a... More

This place has it all. No matter what your ability or interest. From taking your old dog on a stroll along the Crooked River, to a strenuous hike over misery ridge, to rappelling off the majestic rock formations. I even saw a guy tight rope walking to Monkey Face!

I always feel like I'm in the "old west" when I come here. There are towering rocks, some with a handful of climbers. The Crooked River runs through it - as pretty a river as you'll find in any desert. And the trails run from extremely easy to challenging. A must for any visitor to central Oregon.

Great hiking, beautiful views! Could have easily spent a few more days exploring with two nine year old girls! The bald eagles were feeding their young in a nest we could view with binoculars and got some great shots with a telephoto lens!

Unique walks and rock formations. Enjoyed seeing the crazy, talented and obviously powerful rock climbers. The weather was superb.

We were staying in Sunriver, Oregon and on our way to Madras and Portland, we saw this on a map and then saw a sign and decided to stop. We paid a $5 park fee and parked and walked around taking in the views and pictures. I wanted to hike it so bad, as I saw people hiking down to... More
