A quirky roadside landmark: the Hampton Lumber “smiley face” safe-roadway viewpoint on Salmon River Hwy. Best photographed as a graphic, close-to-the-road subject with the surrounding Oregon forest/shoulder lines for leading lines and contrast. Visit in overcast light for even tones or at golden hour for warm rim light on foliage. Parking is typically roadside pull-off; watch for fast traffic and use caution—expect limited facilities and no entry fees.
