Hiking

The McCullough Memorial Bridge marks the entrance to Oregon’s South Coast and is remarkable. Named after Conde McCullough (1887-1946), one of the most prominent bridge engineers in the United States, it is considered one of his greatest designs. As you approach this impressive mile-long bridge, you know that you are about to cross something special. If you have the time, go to Ferry Road, and you can walk under the bridge from the south side. Looking north at the underside of the bridge is like standing in an enormous cathedral.
