Oh my...that is beautiful. I believe I'd have had to sit down and
just breath all that in for awhile.

Great shot OV. Nice and quiet with highway 199 closed from that bridge south due to large redwood trees blocking the road.

The Smith doesn't get it's due as one of the most beautiful rivers in America!
That rivals any screen saver I’ve seen on Bing. I’m not sure I could leave after taking a picture like that. Thanks for sharing with us. America the Beautiful!🇺🇸

Oregon Viking would it be ok to share some of your photos with my 2 sons who grew up here? Your photos are truly beautiful.

Thank you, we’ve had many picnics, swimming, fishing and prospecting outings along the Smith River. Ocean fishing, clamming and agate hunting at the beaches you photograph. I still do these things here and my sons join me when they visit. This truly is a beautiful area.

It is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I have been in Brookings since 1969 (4 years old)
I explore the Chetco, Whinchuck, Rogue and Sixes rivers areas mostly...Oregon resident licenses cheaper..

I have traveled all over the U.S. & my wife & I agree Oregon hands down is the most beautiful state. We have traveled from Astoria to San Francisco many times on the 101 hwy. We love it.
