It\u2019s an area along the Crooked River gorge where there are some sheer cliffs that are very popular with rock climbers. We walked a short way to a viewpoint, but due to the steepness of the trail down to the river and up the other side we didn\u2019t hike down into the canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We got pictures of a couple of groups of rock climbers heading toward the cliffs for the day, and also some hikers across the river who were hiking on a trail. The picture of the hikers shows the how immense the cliffs are with an insert showing where the hikers are at.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Spinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 40px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Spinner > div{\r\n\t\t\t  background-color: #333;\r\n\t\t\t  height: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t  width: 6px;\r\n\t\t\t  display: inline-block;\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation: rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t  animation: rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect2 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.1s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect3 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.0s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect4 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.9s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Spinner .rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect5 {\r\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.8s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@-webkit-keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4) }  \r\n\t\t\t  20% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0) }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t@keyframes rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25-stretchdelay {\r\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4);\r\n\t\t\t  }  20% { \r\n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0);\r\n\t\t\t  }\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style><div class=\"robo-gallery-wrap robo-gallery-wrap-id8228 robo-gallery-grid\" ><div id=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25-block-loader\" class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Spinner\"><div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect1\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect2\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect3\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect4\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25Rect5\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"robo_gallery_main_block_rbs_gallery_69e5b16a86f25\" class=\"robogallery-gallery-8228\" style=\"width:100%;
