Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Overlook

Maralee_Park_140425_63128_7_6On our way home from Portland last week we took a short rest stop at the Peter Skene Ogden State Scenic Overlook.  Maralee_Park_140425_63113_2_1It’s a wonderful spot to take a break, have a packed lunch, or just stretch your legs.  It has a great view of the Crooked River Canyon 300 feet below.

  1. Nice photos; the bridge looks like a smaller version of a bridge spanning the Rio Grande in New Mexico, including the 300 foot drop to the river.

    1. Thanks. Apparently this was the site of a notorious murder. The woman who committed the murder was the only woman in Oregon to ever be put on death row. I don’t know what happened to her . . . I just read a blurb about it on Wikipedia.

      1. We are not going .. there, when I know I can survive if I fall .. I so scared – but never scared if I’m so high I can’t see the ground. Glad I’m not alone in the club. *smile
