Perched atop a basalt sea stack, over a mile from Oregon's North Coast, the infamous Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, affectionately known as “Terrible Tilly,” is a fascinating piece of history. While it has long been closed to the public, it remains a resilient symbol of its rich heritage, despite being weathered and worn. During our visit to Ecola State Park, you'll enjoy stunning views of this iconic landmark.

Oswald West State Park (Pass By)

Spanning four miles of coastline within a lush, temperate rainforest, Oswald West State Park features a stunningly secluded sandy beach and extensive trails that offer breathtaking vistas of the Pacific Ocean. This expansive and picturesque gem is undoubtedly one of Oregon's most extraordinary parks. Situated on the northern Oregon Coast, Oswald West State Park attracts surfers, hikers, and beach enthusiasts alike, providing a wealth of recreational opportunities.

Hug Point State Park (Pass By)

Picture yourself journeying by stagecoach along the shoreline. Before the construction of the highway, the beach served as the sole route along this coastal stretch. To the north of the parking area at low tide, you can stroll along the original stagecoach road, where the wheel ruts are still etched into the rock. Pioneers navigating around this headland had to carefully maneuver along the point, even during low tide. As a result, both the point and the park have fittingly been named Hug Point.

Neahkahnie Mountain

This peak is an inspiring place, where the Tillamook tribe believed their most powerful god resided. In fact, the name Neahkahnie comes from their words Ne ("place of") and Ekahnie ("supreme deity").

Camp 18 Museum

Those who want to learn more about logging history in the northwest, or who simply are curious about vintage logging machinery, will find plenty of material at Camp 18. Outdoor displays include multiple steam donkeys such as a Dolbeer single spool, a very early first-generation model, to a high-tech late-model Willamette compound geared yarder that was the height of technology for its day. Other displays on site include a large bandsaw from a sawmill, a self-propelled Ohio steam crane, Caterpillar-style tracked vehicles that worked in the woods, a railroad skeleton log car and other heavy equipment plus a wide variety of large and small hardware. We will make a quick stop here on our way to the spectacular Oregon Coast so that you can explore the historic equipment, use the restroom, and buy some coffee if you want.
