Description:

We will carpool to Yachats and walk the Amanda Trail to the shelter at Cape Perpetua and back. It is a 7 mile hike, with just over 1,000 feet of climbing in total. The weather may be rainy, so definitely bring along your rain gear! The entire route is well marked with "Oregon Coast" trail signs. We follow 101 briefly, with the ocean on the right, then cross 101 at Windy Way. We leave the highway and are in the forest for the hike up, with intermittent views of the ocean through the trees, then head through an open conservation easement and down to the Amanda statue and storyboard. There's then a bridge/stream crossing and fairly steep uphill for approximately 1 mile. Closer to the top there is another stream crossing (without a bridge), and the trail to the stone shelter subsequently intersects with the more heavily traveled loop at the top of Cape Perpetua. Great views! We'll head down the way we came up; those who wish to may join in a meal in Yachats before heading back to Eugene.
