Dry Canyon Trail is a short, accessible rim-and-valley hike offering layered basalt cliffs, sage and juniper foregrounds, and wide views toward the Cascades — great for landscape compositions, late‑spring wildflowers, and dramatic skies. Trailhead at 135 NW 9th St has easy parking and no entry fee. Best light: golden hour at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light on canyon walls; weekdays and early mornings reduce hikers in frame. Trail surfaces are uneven but short; bring sun protection and a 4x
