A three mile hiking trail from the Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park campground led to this unique view of the Heceta Head Lighthouse.
Soaring 93 feet in the air, Yaquina Head stands as Oregon’s tallest Lighthouse. Be sure to pick your ticket up at the park’s Interpretive Center for your tour and climb to the top.
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.
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.
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.
The Umpqua Lighthouse stands out against the clear blue Oregon sky.
