Day Hiking: Oregon Coast - Paperback

by Bonnie Henderson (Author)

The definitive guide to exploring Oregon's Pacific coastline

Spanning more than 360 miles along the Pacific Ocean, the Oregon Coast is simply stunning, and getting out onto the beaches and trails is the best way to experience it. With 74 handpicked hikes and 41 beach walks designed for a range of ability levels, this updated edition of Day Hiking: Oregon Coast is your essential guide to exploring rocky coves, rolling dunes, wide beaches, and abundant wildlife.

Whether you're headed for iconic locations such as Cannon Beach, Heceta Head, or the Oregon Dunes, or want to experience less-traveled gems like the lush estuary of the north coast's Whalen Island, Cape Perpetua's Sitka spruce-lined Gwynn Creek, or the remote beach north of Seven Devils State Recreation Site, you'll find the right hike in this guide--and probably a charming coastal town nearby for your post-hike refreshments!
