A long hike, very steep trail in places. The day turned hazy, not good for a point and shoot camera, but I had to!
I will be going back when it's a clear day. I had to "adjust the pictures, it was that hazy/cloudy. The waterfall"miners creek" is at least 20 feet tall.
Miners creek, unmarked not well known.
Thunder cove.
"secret" beach.

Thank you, and untouched...kinda. The Oregon coast trail, has a lot of trash around it. I pick it up....but it keeps "appearing"
No problem, trash bags are cheap.:icon_thumright:
 

The beauty of the Oregon coast. Is the hiway north of you open now? I think they were having problems north of Gold Beach with the road sliding. Never get over that way anymore, so I must have heard something on the radio.

The road slides are an ongoing problem. 101 is open as far as I know.
 

I spent some time down and around the Oregon coast back in '77 and it has not lost it's beauty after all these years..Thanks for sharing..
 

Great area, hard to take a bad pic with scenery like that. We're gearing up for a week-long fishing/camping trip to the coast this summer but the scenery isn't that good around Ft Bragg.

I will be taking some pics of "Natural bridges" in this same area, weather permitting.

We now have the Oregon coast trail, and a lot more easy access to viewpoints. The bridges on the trail, loops, well marked trail heads,make it very "tourist" friendly. I have often considered taking my Zodiac into some of those coves just to explore the beaches.
 

ok, #1 I am amazed that you can walk a mile!

But honestly that is one beautiful place ( when I get out there can I camp at that spot?) (( with you supplying my food and beer?))

Yes Jeff G....you can! About 100 feet off the beach their was a rock ring, in it, burnt wood. So....not in the state park.
Beer? Local craft brewery offers "thunder cove IPA" and "arch Rock ale". Both are within a 1/2 mile...Thunder cove and Arch rock... not the beer....:laughing7:
Food? well these are tracks, on the beach about 100 feet from where you will be camping. Mystery meat!

WOW!! Those are some great pics!
I could spend forever out there... Except for me being a sissy in the cold...
LOL
Absolutley beautiful views!
 

Awesome pictures Vik!! After 46 years of marriage, when finally started taking trips to the coast. Being a couple of desert rats, we really have enjoyed ourselves. Stayed down at Crescent City and drove up to Brookings....just doin' the tourist thing. It's kinda like the desert...it has a beauty all its own!! Thanks for the pics!!:thumbsup:
