Hiking Angora Peak, the most scenic point along the Oregon Coast.
My buddy Mike and I made our annual trip up Angora Peak, one of the best viewpoints along the entire Oregon coast. Located just north of Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain in Oswald West State Park on the Northern Oregon Coast, you can see all the way south to Cape Lookout. To the north, you can see past Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park, and across the Columbia to the hills in Southwest Washington.
A full hike up to the peak and back is around 8 miles. We cut it short, choosing to take a side trip to the old cabin and then up to where we had some good views.
This hike requires walking up logging roads until you reach a grassed-over logging road, then take a side trail up to the ridge, and then along another old road. The views are worth the uphill until it is downhill hiking.

January Trask Mountain Hike
มุมมอง 962 หลายเดือนก่อน
Trask Mountain is the tallest peak in Yamhill County, Oregon. Located in the Oregon Coast Range, Trask Mountain used to be the site of a fire lookout. The road system starts on public land, then travels through public and state lands, and at the time of hiking the private landowners had the land open for access. One should always check the land status before hiking.
Hiking on the Idiot Creek Trail
มุมมอง 2112 หลายเดือนก่อน
Idiot Creek was the sire of a logging camp back in the days of Railroad Salvage Logging. It was so remote and nasty that "Only an Idiot Would Work There." The camp is long gone, but the name stuck. This hike runs up a ridge after crossing Elk Creek, a tributary to the Wilson River. The trail is the end point of a new section being constructed from the old site of Idiotville over to Ell Creek.

The Barlow road was an immigrant route through the Cascade Mountains. Oregon Trail travelers would use it to bypass the Columbia River section. This is a nice hike. Fairly easy in this section.
Hiking Axe Ridge
มุมมอง 252 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Oregon Coast Range offers off-season hiking opportunities. Axe Ridge is one such location. The name drew us in. Unfortunately, a fall scraped my knee a little, but it also bruised it pretty good. We ended up hiking back up to the truck when it started stiffening up.
Randall Hill Snow Hike

In early March 2024, Mike and I tried to hike up to the top of Randall Hill in the Oregon Coast Range. It had snowed so we packed snowshoes and microspikes, and we were ready for anything. Unfortunately, one of my snowshoes broke, ending the hike. Hiking the Oregon Coast Range is a viable option in the winter when the higher elevations in the Oregon Cascades are snowed in. There are only a limi...
Hiking along the Salmon River near Mount Hood.

This is a hike along the Salmon River near Welches, Oregon, on the flanks of Mount Hood. Oregon has more than one salmon river. This hike crosses a short piece of national forest and then runs into the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness. We followed the river until we turned around near Goat Camp. This is a great hike.
Hiking Stanley Peak in the Oregon Coast Range
มุมมอง 495 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is a winter hike up to Stanley Peak in the northern Oregon Coast Range. Stanley Peak involves hiking on some old logging roads and cat roads before following a trail to the peak. The coast range is lower elevation than the cascades. As a result, it sees much less snow. One can usually find a hike somewhere that isn't snowed out. However, it is usually cold and can be cold and rainy. Be pre...

The best route is to take Highway 26 to Necanicum Junction, where you turn onto the winding highway 53....

Crossing the Bar 12-30-23

The local crab fishing fleet from Garibaldi on Tillamook Bay has to brave one of the most dangerous bar crossings on the West Coast. The boats dropped pots so they could catch crabs to be ready to pull pots when the season opened, so they made many trips hauling pots out to sea. They have to go out whenever they can even if it means rough conditions.
