Sometimes the best part isn't the beach at all, looking east...

sunset can be beautiful

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.

Thor's Well is a really cool rock feature along the rocky shores at Cape Perpetua. The photos you see on Instagram are achieved with a good telephoto lens, so if you want to capture this feature, don't forget a good zoom! You'll also want to go when the tide is high so that you'll get the water filling and dripping from the opening.

My wife and I took this hike today from the main parking lot. We went counterclockwise which is longer than driving to and started from the parking lot closest to the trail to the Knoll, which is clockwise. It’s shorter but straight up. We’re in our 70’s and we had a dog with us who is also a senior. Very good trail with lots of Sitka Spruce trees. View from the Knoll was worth it. Go slow and hydrate often. It’s a rise in elevation of about 750 feet.

Depoe Bay is a city in Lincoln County, Oregon, located on Route 101 on the Pacific Ocean. The bay of the same name is a 6-acre (2.4 ha) harbor, which the city promotes as the smallest navigable harbor in the world. Depoe Bay was named after Siletz Indian Charles "Charley" Depot, to whom the land was originally granted in 1894 as part of the Dawes Act of 1887. There are conflicting accounts of the origin of his name. It is said that he received the name "Depot Charley" because he worked at the military depot near Toledo, Oregon. The family later became known as "DePoe." His original tribal affiliation was Tututni. In 1975, the fishing trip sequence in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed in Depoe Bay. In 1983, the harbor sequence in Hysterical was filmed in Depoe Bay, with the Depoe Bay Bridge prominently featured in the background. In 2008, restaurant scenes from The Burning Plain were filmed in Depoe Bay at the Tidal Raves restaurant. On March 11, 2011, the Depoe Bay harbor was damaged by a tsunami caused by the Tohoku earthquake off the coast of Japan. On August 21, 2017, Depoe Bay was one of the first places in the United States to experience the entirety of that year's North American solar eclipse.
