Nehalem‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

The Nehalem River is a breathtaking waterway that boasts diverse wildlife, both on land and in the water, from majestic elk and black-tailed deer to playful river otters and busy beavers. Below the surface, the river is teeming with salmon and other fish. As you ride along, you might spot a northern spotted owl, an osprey, or even a golden eagle in the sky. In 2019, the river was designated a “State Scenic Waterway” to protect its corridor, wildlife, and stunning scenery.

As you travel along the picturesque Highway 101, make sure to take a moment to stop at this magnificent overlook. The stunning view of the vast Pacific Ocean from this spot is sure to take your breath away. The combination of the endless blue water and the rugged coastline is a fantastic opportunity to take some amazing and memorable photos.

This viewpoint is only a short run from the parking area and absolutely worth it! From here, you can admire the waves crashing into the rocky cliffs below. To extend your run from here, carry on to Neahkahnie Viewpoint to the east or Short Sand Beach to the north (depending on where you began).

At the very end of Cape Falcon Trail, you will find this viewpoint from where you have a great overlook over the southern coastline.

Devil's Cauldron Viewpoint is probably the viewpoint with the shortest hike to get there. But it's 100% worth it and once you reach the viewpoint you can see and hear the waves crashing against the rocky coastline.
