There I stop at Ecola State Park for my first view of the Oregon coast and at Cannon Beach and the famous Haystack Rock.
 |
| As you will notice, the Northern Pacific Ocean beaches are filled with lovely sea stacks, but none more famous than this one--Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach. |
 |
| I met two friends along the way! |
 |
| Further along the coast on my way to Depoe Bay, my first stop for the night. |
 |
| What I captured in this picture is the cars to the left--some of Coastal Highway 101--is quite high up! |
 |
| A high hike at Cape Lookout between Tillamook Bay and Pacific City. Look through the trees and see the shore; I could hear the roar of the surf on this hike. |
 |
| Depoe Bay at sunset where I stayed at the Inn at Arch Rock and got to view lots of whales coming into the bay the next morning. |
 |
| A home I came across hiking aroound Depoe Bay at sunrise--the flowers here love the mild climate. |
After Depoe Bay, I traveled south to Bandon-on-the-Beach. The day was cloudy and light rain. On this day I crossed many long, high bridges over inlets and bays.
 |
| Famous sea lions just a few feet away from the bay front at Newport. We all laughed when they barked. |
 |
| Even on a cloudy day, the coast is beautiful. |
 |
| Lighthouse at Bandon. |
 |
| Bandon Beach. |
 |
| Though I came across lots of cars heading north with surf boards on their tops, I only saw these guys wind surfing. |
 |
| Typical beaches with logs washed up. Those are large logs to the right. |
Stay turned--I'm about to cross over the California border and get into the legendary redwoods!
