Afisha Life | Обилазак обале Орегона из Портланда

1

Директор Парк

Наша централна локација за састанке и место преузимања! Прелеп, урбани парк у центру центра Портланда.

2

Државни парк Ецола

Након јутарње вожње аутопутем Сунсет, прве аутомобилске руте у Орегону кроз планински ланац Цасцаде, вијугаћемо кроз бујну шуму смрче Ситка до државног парка Ецола. На тренутак ћемо оставити возило и истражити ову обалску оазу. Ако нам време дозволи, можемо и да се вратимо кроз шуму до Индијске плаже. Овај осамљени џеп скрива се од већег дела летње гужве и омиљено је место за локалне чешљаре на плажи.

3

Хаистацк Роцк

Након напуштања државног парка Ецола, свакако ћемо посетити Хаистацк Роцк, морску стену тик уз обалу Цаннон Беацх која је позната по својој сличности са својим имењаком. За коју се тврди да је трећа највиша „међуплимна“ структура на свету, то је огромна базалтна стена која је настала од токова лаве пре више од 15 милиона година! Овде ћемо прошетати пешчаном плажом, гледати прелепе птице како круже око стене, а ако будемо имали среће и плима нестане, видећемо многе врсте морских дивљих животиња у њиховом природном станишту базена за плиму.

4

Цаннон Беацх

Град Цаннон Беацх ће бити позадина наше станице за ручак током дана. Гости ће се разићи за слободно време и моћи ће да изаберу неколико ресторана у малом граду, од којих сваки има своје еклектичне меније.

5

Аутопут Орегон Цоаст 101

За поподне ћемо се упутити на југ чувеним Пацифичком обалом Сцениц Биваи (аутопут 101) да истражимо лепше приобалне обале.

6

Неахкахние Моунтаин

На Неахкахние Оверлоок-у, зауставићемо се да уживамо у задивљујућим погледима дуж највише тачке на којој се може возити дуж обале Орегона!

7

Државни парк Освалд Вест

Отпутоваћемо до Државног парка Освалд Вест, названог по гувернеру Орегона Освалду Весту. Гувернер Вест је заслужан за то да наша огромна обала Орегона остане отворена за јавну употребу. Наше заустављање у државном парку зависиће од плиме и групе. Можемо се одлучити за кратко пешачење кроз шуму дуж Схорт Санд Цреек-а који се отвара до обале са наслаганим наплавинама познатом као Увала Смугглерс. Променљива са ове станице може бити кратка посета Хуг Поинту ако су осеке ниске. Овде обично можемо да шетамо око тачке да бисмо видели мали обални водопад!

Директор Парк

Завршићемо дан повратком у центар Портланда са повратком у Дирецтор Парк.

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.
