Afisha Life | Oregon Coast Tour z Portland

1

Dyrektor Parku

Nasze centralne miejsce spotkań i punkt odbioru! Piękny, miejski park w centrum Downtown Portland.

2

Park stanowy Ecola

Po porannej jeździe wzdłuż Sunset Highway, pierwszej samochodowej trasy Oregonu przez pasmo górskie Cascade, będziemy wędrować przez bujny las świerkowy Sitka do Parku Stanowego Ecola. Na chwilę zostawimy pojazd i zbadamy tę nadmorską oazę. Jeśli czas pozwoli, możemy też wrócić przez las na indyjską plażę. Ta ustronna kieszonka jest ukryta przed większością letnich tłumów i jest ulubionym miejscem miejscowych plażowiczów.

3

Skała Stogu Siana

Po opuszczeniu Parku Stanowego Ecola z pewnością odwiedzimy Haystack Rock, stos morski tuż przy brzegu Cannon Beach, który słynie z podobieństwa do swojej imiennika. Uważana za trzecią najwyższą „międzypływową” strukturę na świecie, jest to ogromna bazaltowa skała, która została utworzona przez lawę ponad 15 milionów lat temu! Tutaj będziemy spacerować wzdłuż piaszczystej plaży, obserwować piękne ptaki krążące wokół skały, a jeśli będziemy mieli szczęście i odpływ się skończy, zobaczymy wiele gatunków morskich zwierząt w ich naturalnym środowisku w basenie pływowym.

4

Plaża armatnia

Miasto Cannon Beach będzie tłem naszego dziennego postoju na lunch. Goście będą mogli spędzić wolny czas i wybrać jedną z kilku małomiasteczkowych jadłodajni, z których każda oferuje własne eklektyczne menu.

5

Autostrada wybrzeża Oregonu 101

Po południu udamy się na południe słynną autostradą Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (autostrada 101), aby odkrywać piękniejsze nadmorskie wybrzeża.

6

Góra Neahkahnie

W Neahkahnie Overlook zatrzymamy się, aby podziwiać wspaniałe widoki wzdłuż najwyższego punktu wzdłuż wybrzeża Oregonu, który można przejechać!

7

Park stanowy Oswalda Westa

Pojedziemy do Parku Stanowego Oswald West, trafnie nazwanego na cześć gubernatora stanu Oregon Oswalda Westa. Gubernatorowi West przypisuje się zapewnienie, że nasze rozległe wybrzeże Oregonu pozostanie otwarte do użytku publicznego. Nasz przystanek w parku stanowym będzie zależny od przypływu i grupy. Możemy zdecydować się na krótką, zalesioną wędrówkę wzdłuż Short Sand Creek, która otwiera się na wybrzeże ułożone w drewnie, znane jako Smugglers Cove. Zmienną z tego przystanku może być krótka wizyta w Hug Point, jeśli pływy są niskie. Tutaj zazwyczaj jesteśmy w stanie obejść punkt, aby zobaczyć mały przybrzeżny wodospad!

Dyrektor Parku

Zakończymy dzień powrotem do centrum Portland z powrotem w Director Park.

9

Director Park

Our central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.

10

Ecola State Park

After the morning drive along the Sunset Highway, Oregon's first automobile route through the Cascade Mountain Range, we'll meander through a lush Sitka spruce forest to Ecola State Park. We’ll momentarily leave the vehicle behind and explore this coastal oasis. If time allows, we may also travel back through the forest to Indian beach. This secluded pocket hides away from much of the summertime crowd and is a favorite spot for local beach combers.

11

Haystack Rock

After leaving the Ecola State Park, we will be sure to visit Haystack Rock, a sea stack just off the shore of Cannon Beach made famous by its resemblance to its namesake. Claimed to be the third tallest “intertidal” structure in the world, it is a huge basalt rock that was formed by lava flows over 15 million years ago! Here we’ll walk along the sandy beach, watch beautiful birds circle the rock, and if we’re lucky and the tide is out, we’ll view many species of marine wildlife in their natural tide pool habitat.

12

Cannon Beach

The town of Cannon Beach will be the backdrop of our lunch stop for the day. Guests will disperse for free time and are able to take their pick of several small-town eateries, each boasting their own eclectic menus.

13

Oregon Coast Highway

For the afternoon, we'll head south on the famous Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (Highway 101) to explore more beautiful coastal shores.

14

Neahkahnie Mountain

Upon Neahkahnie Overlook, we’ll stop to enjoy stunning views along the highest drive-able point along the Oregon coast!

15

Oswald West State Park

We'll journey to Oswald West State Park, aptly named after the Oregon Governor Oswald West. Governor West is credited with ensuring our vast Oregon coastline would remain open for public use. Our stop in the state park will be tide and group dependent. We may opt to take a short, forested hike following along Short Sand Creek which opens to a driftwood stacked coastline known as Smugglers Cove. A variable from this stop may be a short visit to Hug Point if the tides are low. Here, we are typically able to walk around the point to view a small coastal waterfall!

16

Director Park

We'll the end the day arriving back to downtown Portland with a drop off back in Director Park.
