Trees are sporting some brightly colored fungus as September draws to an end.
Blooms along the hiking trail look like rockets blasting off.
A three mile hiking trail from the Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park campground led to this unique view of the Heceta Head Lighthouse.
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.
The Cape Disappointment Lighthouse stands on a bluff in Washington State above the north side of the Columbia River. First lit in 1856 remains the oldest functioning Lighthouse on the West Coast.
