Thank you for this beautiful post Mike. The view looking south toward Haystack Rock from Ecola Point is completely unforgettable. Winding through the old-growth Sitka spruce forest feels like stepping straight into a classic Pacific Northwest fairytale. It is the perfect marriage of rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and serene mist. Hiking the Tillamook Head National Recreation Trail makes you feel connected to the early explorers who mapped this coastline. Indian Beach is a secluded paradise where you can watch brave surfers catch waves right below the towering headlands. It is a sanctuary where you might see Roosevelt elk grazing in the meadows or bald eagles soaring above the trees. Standing on the edge of the cliffs lets you stand exactly where iconic movies like The Goonies and Twilight came to life. Gazing out at the lonely Tillamook Rock Lighthouse stranded out at sea reminds you of the wild, unyielding power of the ocean.
