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 where we’ll hang out in the evenings to stay warm and dry. 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.
