The Pacific coast has many “must see” spots. Ecola State Park near Cannon Beach, Oregon has to be in the top 10.

Visitors are treated to sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean at Ecola Point and Indian Beach, plus lots of great hiking. I did the 2.5 mile Clatsop Loop Trail with stunning views of large trees and breathtaking views of the ocean. There’s also the Oregon Coast Trail that traverses the park.

You may also spot some Roosevelt Elk like I did!
