It appears that we are out of the Rain Forest, at least of the big Sitka Spruce, but the coastline remains dramatic and part of today's drive took us right to the edge.
Along our 130-mile drive there were several viewpoints.
At this one we could see the waves crashing on the rocks below.
Along the hillside of this little bay was the Heceta Head Lighthouse.
Dramatic coastline.
I grew up in Indiana not far from the Indiana Dunes. The Oregon Dunes just go on and on.
Near our destination we crossed Coos Bay on...
a stunning bridge.
For the next few days we are at the Seven Devils State Recreation Site and Bullards Beach State Park.
We hiked the 2+ miles to the ocean along the trail that you see on the left side of the picture. The campground is in the trees that you see along the horizon.
The beach was completely empty of people but had several of these huge tree root systems.
Today's hike:
Length - 2.31 miles
Duration - 1 hour
Elevation gain - 110 feet (11 floors on the Fitbit)
Nice lighthouse, Sis.
