The view from Misery Ridge looks like Godzilla decided to take a nap face down.
On this night, Michael Shainblum and I decided to hike high up on Smith Rock to take in this spectacular vantage point.
With sheer drop offs everywhere, we had to tread very carefully because we planned on hiking back in the dark much later that night.
We both had a good feeling that we'd witness a special sunset and you can imagine our delight as the clouds began to glow with the light from that setting sun.
For about thirty minutes, the two of us were in nerdy raptures as the light just got more and more intense.
At that point we'd have been happy if that was the pinnacle of our adventure. Later that night, things got even more amazing as a lightning storm crept over the distant mountains.
But that's another story...
Thanks for looking
