Hiking
Salal Hill is reached via a 0.7-mile out-and-back trail located within the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. As you climb, you get panoramic views of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Colony Rock, and the Pacific Ocean. The trail is well-maintained, with a gravel path that includes several switchbacks leading to the summit. Along the way, you can enjoy diverse plant life, like salal plants, blue-eyed grass, irises, and cow parsnip, and wildlife sightings, such as bald eagles and maybe even gray whales. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but must be kept on a leash.
