Description:

We'll start at Washburne State Park and cross 101 to pick up the Valley Trail along China Creek. The bridge probably isn't repaired yet, but we can check on its progress before we cross back over 101 and up through the forest on the Oregon Coast Trail to the Heceta Head Lighthouse for lunch. After lunch we'll take the Hobbit trail down to the beach and along the shore back to our cars. If the bridge across China Creek is open the hike will be 8 miles, but since it probably isn't, it will be 6 miles.

Be prepared for slippery slopes and winter weather, as I won't cancel unless it's truly dangerous (my call!)

Drive is suitable for all vehicle types, and there are rest rooms at the trail head and at the lighthouse.
