Oregon Coast
Get ready for a classic Oregon Coast experience at Cape Lookout. This trail winds you through a stunning old-growth Sitka spruce forest before opening up to breathtaking cliffside views of the Pacific. The hike itself is about 5 miles round trip and can get quite muddy and root-filled, so be sure to wear sturdy shoes. It's a popular spot, especially on sunny weekends, but the panoramic views from the tip of the cape, where you feel like you're on the edge of the continent, are absolutely worth it. Keep an eye out for migrating whales if you're visiting between December and June.
