TRACE THE MITTEN

Continuing Down The Oregon Coast Along The Pacific Coast Highway

Beverly Beach State Park to Sunset Bay State Park (near Coos Bay) 113 miles.  Total 596 miles

Picture
Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
At 93', it is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon.  It was made in Paris and shipped here for installation in 1873. Guided tours are available. There are 11 lighthouses along the coast.  This is the first that I have seen on this tour.
Picture
The Yaquina Bay Bridge from the RV Park and marina.
The bridge is known as one of the most distinctive along the Pacific Highway. It opened in 1936 and its overall length is 3260'.

Seal Rock State Recreation Area.
Picture
Near Waldport the Alsea River comes out to form this bay.
Picture
Tillicum Beach State Park camping.
Picture
Yachats gets high marks as a destination area for tourism, but lumber, fishing, recreation and food products also are strong in the economy.
Picture
The Siuslaw National Forest has many trails.
Picture
The Bascule Bridge in Florence.
This bridge design looks very familiar.  Create a space large enough for the boats and ships to pass under.
Picture
Dunes City reminded me of the dunes we have along the western shore of Michigan.
Picture
Going through Reedsport. The sign announces Gateway to the Dunes.
Reedsport, like many of the larger towns along the US 101 are at a mouth of a river
; in this case, the Umpqua River.  The town is home to an office of the US Forest Service and a Discovery Center with displays of the area.
Picture
The next town was Lakeside. Easy to find a place to eat, rest, resupply.
Picture
This looks like a good place to take a break. Laundry needs to be done.
