My West Coast Trip Highlight #4: Oregon Coast


Before I reached the Oregon Coast on day 5 of our trip I had never seen the Pacific Ocean. We stopped in Cannon Beach on Oregon's northern coast on a cold blustery day. While there were a few brave souls on the beach, the bravest of all were the kite-surfers in the water. Kite-surfers use sails in conjunction with their surfboards for an amazing, wild ride.




We spent an entire day driving down the Oregon Coast on highway 101. The views of the Oregon Coast reminded me of pictures I've seen of the British Isles. The lush green landscape, the rocky cliffs and the desolate beaches were breathtaking.
