Peak Northwest

Overlooked attractions of the north Oregon coast


Listen Later

Traveling to the coast this spring, but tired of the same attractions? We have you covered.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we’re headed back to the north Oregon coast to explore some overlooked attractions, just in time for spring break.

There’s nothing wrong with Cannon Beach and the Tillamook Creamery, but have you seen the spectacular beauty of Niagara Falls? Stood beneath the Rockaway Big Tree? Spied upon elk at Jewell Meadows?

If you’re itching to try something new, you’ve come to the right place. There’s a lot more to see on the north coast than rocks shaped like haystacks.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Oregon’s Coast Range is full of spectacular waterfalls.
  • Where to find the coast’s biggest trees (and stumps)
  • The Fort to Sea Trail is one of the best day hikes on the Oregon coast.
  • Spring break may be your last best chance to see elk at Jewell Meadows.
  • One state park offers three different environments to explore.
