Siuslaw National Forest

Hike through old-growth forest or take in ocean views at this coastal woodland.

One of my favorite spots in Oregon to watch the sunrise from the tallest mountain on the Oregon Coast Range. On a clear day you can see the ocean from the peak. 

This campground is definitely my favorite on the mid-section of the Oregon Coast. No showers but there are bathrooms. We always see whales, sea lions, rainbows, and find tons of agates! Super easy access to the beach!

Get your heart pumping while visiting Cook's Chasm, Spouting Horn, Devils Churn, and Thor's Well at high tide. Explore the tide pools at low tide. 

From Florence up the coast just gets wilder and wilder.

A misty morning at Haceta Head Lighthouse, well worth a stop and a short hike to the lighthouse.
