PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- An Oregon fall staple returns as the Polk County smiley face returns with the autumn change of the golden larch trees.
Oregon's beloved "Smiley Face Hill" was visible from the air on Thursday from former KOIN 6 meteorologist Natasha Stenbock. The recent return of sunnier skies has helped make many trees across the region pop over the last few days.
Sunny and mild temperatures made for the perfect flying conditions to see the nearly 13-year-old Oregon staple. The 300-foot larch tree smiley face was planted in 2011 can also be seen from Highway 18 each fall.
