7-photo photomerge of Giant Spruce near Cape Perpetua (Oregon Coast)

One of the five hikes (maps here) we ventured on this past weekend, near Yachats, ended at this tree, nearly 200 feet tall and 600 years old. The hike was awesome, by the way; the trail is lovely, and it’s an easy 2-mile hike out and back.

Cook’s Chasm sunset

Another photo today from our walk on the Oregon Coast yesterday. You can see rain happening in the Pacific Ocean in this photo which was far more pleasant than the rain falling on us a bit earlier. The good thing about the rain was it cleared out most of the tourists.

If you are trying to find this spot, Google “Cape Perpetua Special Interest Area”.

Devil’s Churn near Cape Petpetua (Oregon Coast)

We are away from Ashland this weekend. Today we walked from Devil’s Churn to Spouting Horn, one of my favorite trails on the planet.

My random, desktop image of the day comes from a hike I took just over two years ago. I nearly died that day. Good memories.

About two hours from Ashland, and not far from Crater Lake, is the trail to Toketee Falls. The trail to the falls offers views like the above.
