Take a 90-minute adventure through history, nature, and breathtaking coastal views through Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint. This beginner-friendly hike is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone eager to explore the beauty of the Oregon Coast.
• We'll meet at the main parking area and start with a scenic 0.5-mile loop to the historic Cape Meares Lighthouse, taking in panoramic viewpoints and enjoying only the occasional dad joke.
• We'll visit the legendary Octopus Tree and then hike into the ancient forest beyond it. Learn about the unique plants and wildlife of Oregon’s coastal old-growth forests and pause at a picturesque creek crossing, where I’ll highlight the striking differences between secondary and ancient forests.
• Take a short drive to a park entrance trail that leads to the biggest Sitka spruce in Oregon. I’ll answer any remaining questions, and then we’ll wave, fist bump, shake hands, or hug, and bid each other fond farewells. And maybe, just maybe, part as new lifelong friends. Maybe.
You’ll leave having experienced the magic of Oregon’s coastal wilderness, with my recommendations for more food, drink, and other must-see spots along the coast.
Note: Be sure to dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. There will be a total of just under two miles of hiking/walking.
