Ecola State Park
Capture a spectacular view of the famous sea stack-studded coastline, featured in movies, and the furthest south that members of the Lewis & Clark expedition ventured.

You'll have time to explore the galleries, boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, beach, and Haystack Rock.

Although the weather was quite rainy and windy, we still visited all the listed areas and enjoyed seeing the Oregon coast, the Tillamook creamery, and Camp 18. Our group was small so it was personalized.

Provider canceled. Please refund. I tried to cancel online, but it apparently didn't work. PLEASE REFUND.

Hi Glenda. James told me he was canceling directly online, so he must have failed. If you would have called and left a voicemail that you did not receive your refund, rather than going through the hassle of leaving a 1-star review, your refund would have been processed 5 days sooner. I am just now processing it, as I only have time to get online and read the reviews once per week.
