This is Oregon's newest state park and is one of the best for viewing the night sky!
I arrived at blue hour to capture my foreground in great detail without having a very very long shutter speed. I then waited about 2 and 1-2 hours for the Milky Way to line up and show off above the canyon using a high ISO of 4000, F-3.5, and exposure of 30s. I blended the 2 shots in Photoshop using lighten and used a mask and paint brush to make the layers blend smoothly.
