Cape Falcon trail, Oswald West State Park, OR, 8/20/19


The Oregon coast is known

for its large trees, with the Sitka spruce being the most well known.  We were greeted by this giant at the start of our hike to Cape Falcon, just north of Manzanita. 



The 2.5-mile section of the Oregon Coast Trail (OCT) runs through the rain forest along the beach and up to the cape. 






After leaving the beach, the trail slowly winds up to the cape along ferns, salal and salmonberry.
