The bark of the tree from the second tree pictures is beautiful. Although it looks like the pattern was made by rain or maybe constant water and rain dropping on the tree bark.

A very typical pattern on these trees, and really beautiful!
It is Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta), and typically has that appearance when it grows inland. At the coast where I live it has an entirely different aspect, twisted and stunted by the storms blowing in off the mighty Pacific. Here is it called Shore Pine, but it does not grow straight and tall like the inland trees in Forest Grove. Elk love to graze on the grass in Lodgepole Pine forests, and Forest Grove is a great place to hunt elk.
