A hike along the Southern Oregon Coast led us down to the beach where yellow flowers bloomed under the shelter of driftwood.
There is no better way to discover the magic of the Oregon Coast than on foot! A recent walk along a 4.5 mile stretch of the Oregon Coastal Trail revealed this mist-shrouded beach, well below and out of sight of the highway.
Cape Blanco Lighthouse sits on the most western point of Oregon. Built in 1870, the lighthouse has survived years of howling winds that continually blow across the bluff. Parking is available at the lighthouse, but we chose a 4.5 mile loop trail that led us across the beach, then back along the forested cliffs.
A breathtakingly beautiful day for a hike along the Oregon Coast.
A lone seagull watches over the shore at Oregon’s Harris Beach State Park.
The rusted remains of the Peter Iredale, a four-masted steel sailing ship that ran aground in 1906, are still visible on the shore of Fort Stevens State Park in Oregon.
Heceta Head Lighthouse stands 56 feet tall and is one of eleven lighthouses that dot the Oregon Coast. First lit in 1894, it continues to shines today with a beam visible for 21 nautical miles.
This path along a section of the Oregon Coast cut through a portion of forest so dense that it created a tunnel effect.
