    Breath taking view. Totally worth getting over my fear of heights. I went in May and it was rainy so trails were a tad muddy. Started the hike at noon and got to the top at around 1:20pm. Bring some layers too it gets hot and cold rapidly

    View from the peak was so worth it!

    Did the hike from the south side. I was happy that I had read online about the gravel road to the trail head otherwise I would've been nervous with our little Toyota Corolla doing some off-roading. The hike started off with lots of switchbacks and was quite steep at times. There were definitely moments that caused me to break a sweat and take a break to catch my breath, but it was all worth it when we saw the view at the top! We opted to climb up the rocky summit to reach the very top of the mountain, and boy, was the result breathtaking. It took us about an hour to reach the top and then another 50 minutes to make our way back down. We went on a Monday morning and didn't run into any other people until we reached the top where there were a few groups relaxing after the climb. Two thumbs up and definitely worth the views at the top.

    If for what ever reason you're doubting why you live in this amazing state of ours - strap on your hikers and take a day trip here. I'm talking physical and spiritual awakening people...in fact, my muscles have continued to let me know that I have "awakened them" all day today. This hike is absolutely stunning. After a 1.5 mile trek through dense woods and a 900 foot elevation gain, you are rewarded with sweeping views of the coast; from the little town of Manzanita, which clings to the southern slope of the mountain, all the way to Tillamook Bay. Off the beaten path you can climb to the rocky pinnacle and sit and enjoy lunch (that I'm assuming you've packed...) in the sunshine. Breathtaking. Literally. The hike continues down the northwest side of the mountain for another 2 miles, and if you're willing to trudge through some muddy sections and brave enough to scamper across highway 101, you'll arrive at my favorite spot along the coast: devils cauldron. One more mile to the north and you'll reach Short Sands Beach...but we'll save that for another review. One day at the Oregon Coast and I'm convinced that I'll live in this state forever...or until the job moves me to Lagos, Portugal of course.

    Easy to moderate hike. The views from the top were definitely worth the trip. From bottom to top the distance was 1.3 miles.

    Such a beautiful view from the top! The hike itself is 1.3 from top to bottom and I would consider it an easy one. Definitely worth the time to do it! It took us about an hour to reach the top and stayed for about 15 minutes. The hike back down took about 50 minutes.

    The view from the top!

    Gorgeous, short hike with forest and coast views! The trails were very well maintained. I would absolutely do this hike again.

Go on hikes,look for rocks shells,surf, get lost in nature, just sit in the grass and watch the ocean. Here is what you can do at Ecola State Park: Hiking & Walking: Explore trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging hikes through Sitka spruce forests. The Clatsop Loop Trail follows the path of1806 explorers, while the Oregon Coast Trail offers longer, scenic treks. Indian Beach: A popular, secluded cove for surfing, sunbathing, and tide-pooling to see sea stars and anemones. Viewpoints: Take in spectacular vistas from Ecola Point, including views of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse ("Terrible Tilly") and distant Haystack Rock. Wildlife Viewing: The park is known for herds of elk grazing in the meadows, as well as sightings of bald eagles and migrating gray whales. Picnicking: Enjoy lunch at the picnic areas located on the grassy bluffs with ocean views. Photography: The dramatic, moody coastline provides excellent opportunities for photography. Oregon State

    Forgive me for this late review. I should have written it long ago, but perhaps the trees and the…read moreocean were patient enough to wait. The drive through the forest is a passage into another world. Sitka spruce and hemlock lean over the road as if they are curious about you. At the end of the road the land opens and the Pacific announces itself in vast gray blues and greens, broken by sea stacks that rise like stubborn monuments. The trails are generous. Some wander to secret beaches, others climb to high points where the ocean and horizon meet like two old friends. Indian Beach is a gathering of tide pools, surfers, and quiet sand. Crescent Beach feels private, almost hidden, with the company of seals if you are lucky. Wildlife belongs here as much as people. Elk graze, eagles soar, and sometimes whales turn the water into theater. The park offers all of this without asking much in return, except that you take your time. Bring layers because the wind and mist move through the park like they own the place. Take your time. Sit, watch, breathe. This park gives you a rare combination of accessibility, natural beauty, and serenity. I regret not praising this place sooner. Ecola State Park holds the kind of beauty that makes you feel both small and fortunate. Five stars, without hesitation.

    A short hike from the parking lot trailhead leads you to this beach. I was surprised since there…read morewas a restroom with plumbing right next to the beach, in addition to the one at the trailhead. I guess it gets very busy during the summer. The trail is well marked and well maintained, with only one or two muddy areas which are easily navigated to avoid getting wet. I wasn't able to get close to Blumenthal Falls on the north end of Short Sand Beach due to the tide and waves, but I could see it from the end of the trail on the beach. It's on of the very few waterfalls in the PNW that cascades into the Pacific Ocean. Very pretty! The beach itself is very picturesque as it's located in a cove surrounded by mountains. Several benches are present to let you take it all in.

    We always drive right by, as most of the year parking is impossible. Luckily we decided to pull off…read morelast weekend, so glad! Varied winding trails from the parking lot through gorgeous trees. The trails go off in different directions with decent signage along the way. Let's be real, the Oregon coastline is gorgeous no matter where you decide to stop off, and Short Sand is no different. Two creeks emerge from the trees flowing onto the sands and into what feels like a huge "cove" with great waves (at least this day) and a lovely beach. Beautiful spot! I can see why it's so busy during most of the year, but it's sooo peaceful right now during the winter!

    What a wonderful under the radar waterfall this is...Beaver Falls!…read more Located 6 miles east of Clatskanie, Oregon, this area near the Columbia River is beautiful. Let's get straight to the heart of what Beaver Falls is all about... If you plug "Beaver Falls Trailhead" into Google Maps, you'll have no problem finding it. Then just park along the side of Highway 30 and hike 1/3rd of a mile through the forest to the base of the falls. It's that easy. When I visited on a Thursday in early afternoon of July, there was hardly anyone around which was good for taking quality photos. Best of all, you can swim in the waters. So definitely bring a bathing suit, towel and a pair of water shoes so the rocks won't hurt your feet while entering the pool beneath Beaver Falls. The water is cold but once you jump in and get comfortable, it's a terrific setting. There's also a long rope where you can swing across and splash down below. It's great for kids (and adults too, lol) to have playful times. For me, I was content soaking in the pool and appreciating the surroundings. More info... - It's free to visit. - Cell phone reception works fine. - You can walk underneath the falls! This is a Must-Do. You can capture some amazing moments standing beside Beaver Falls. It's not hard or dangerous and offers a unique perspective. - Beaver Falls is just one of many outstanding waterfalls situated around Oregon and especially near the Columbia River. There's also Lower Lewis River Falls, Panther Creek Falls and Spirit Falls, to name a few. - You can spend a few hours hanging out or as little as 30 - 40 minutes. It depends on your time horizon. But overall, it's really pleasant to be here that I'd suggest bringing snacks, lunch and maybe having a picnic. This Beaver Falls is absolutely so much fun to hang out at. When you can swim in the waters, swing from a rope and even walk underneath the falls, It makes for a worthwhile summer visit.
