DATA POINTS INCLUDED WITH SMITH ROCK SUMMARY

Trail Difficulty - EASY

I would rate the difficulty of this trail as a 1 on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being most difficult). This location is a layup for a landscape photographer, as the shot is an easy 75yd. walk from the parking lot.

Photography Tips

If you are shooting from just off of the parking lot, this is a straightforward shot. I would suggest arriving an hour or so before sunset to find the composition that is best for you.

What Lens(es) Do You Need

The above shot was taken with a 24mm lens. Depending on the composition you are looking for, you can use anything from a 24mm to a 50mm lens.
