Participants jump in group on the coast with blue sky behind them.
Trips to be scheduled.
On this trip you’ll visit lighthouses, ancient forests, coastal beaches, and spectacular overlooks on this weekend trip to hike and explore the Oregon Coast. We’ll stay in rustic accommodations (yurts, with lights, heat, and electricity) where we’ll hang out in the evenings to stay warm and dry. Learn about the amazing plants and trees found in this temperate rainforest. Giant old growth trees in coastal ancient forests need to be seen to be believed! Spring comes to the Oregon Coast a few weeks earlier than Portland, so the frogs will entertain you at night with their choruses, and the first wildflowers will be blooming.
