Description:

A spectacular trail up through old growth forests, several stream crossings on well-constructed bridges, emerging from the trees at the halfway point to wide open views up & down the coast the rest of the way. I did this trail last July & again May 1 this year – observed 4 elk the first time & a herd of 50 or so last month. With all the beautiful photos we will have taken, we can gloat over coffee in Lincoln City or Dallas on the way back. This hike is worth the extra miles of travel.

Trip Report

Three of us made this trip – we picked up Evelyn near her Newport residence and proceeded north through Lincoln City to the trailhead – the weather was gloomy and we suspected a foggy hike with no views. How wrong we were - it remained overcast and cool but with clear and beautiful views of the ocean, shoreline and surrounding landscape. Wild flowers were abundant and spectacular, the trail was dry and the footing was solid. No elk in site this time. After the hike, we gloated over coffee at Ultralife in downtown Newport – truly great coffee by the way.
