Earlier this week Al and I went on a hike over Tillamook Head Trail. It's a huge oceanfront promontory that separates Seaside and Cannon Beach. Absolutely one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever been on. Super green lush rain forest and right next to you, the Pacific Ocean. The trail takes you over the mount and next to cliffs a thousand feet above the water. About half way there's this sweet camp ground with little hut type cabins, a huge covered picnic table and a really nice fire pit. I really wanna stay a night up there once it starts to warm up again. Just a quater mile or so from the campsite you get a great view of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. The lighthouse has an amazing history and seems surreal. How anybody managed to build it let alone live in the thing is unimaginable.
From there its another 3.5 miles to Indian Beach. Another beautiful spot with ocean rock and huge waves covering the landscape. The beach is a haven for surfers and we sat at a bench for quite some time just to view them catching the waves. We underestimated the distance to Cannon Beach where we planned to catch the bus back to Seaside. It was another mile to crescent beach and then another mile and a half of road to Cannon Beach. By the end we were exhausted but it was well worth it.
