Oregon Coast Self Guided Audio Driving Tour

하이라이트

포함 사항

일정

1. Sea Lion Caves is the largest sea cave in the United States, and its home to, you guessed it dozens, sometimes hundreds of sea lions. If you're interested in seeing, hearing or smelling sea lions, this is the spot. If we head down the elevators into the caves you might want to plug your ears and nose. Note: The tour is over 200 miles long, with more than 170+ audio stories, and takes about 7-8 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.

2. Florence is one of the larger communities on the Oregon Coast and, because of its proximity to the Oregon Dunes, it's a center for outdoor sports. If we are on a much longer driving itinerary, you might be interested to know that Florence is also roughly the halfway point between California and Washington.

3. Florence is home of one of the most infamous incidents in the history of dynamite – an incident that eventually became one of the first viral videos on the Internet. Let’s flashback to November 12, 1970. A dead 45-foot long sperm whale washed up on the beach just west of here.

   10분

4. Up ahead is Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park, named for a former commissioner of the Oregon Highway Department. This park features a wide beach, picnic areas, restrooms and a large campground.

   10분

5. The Cape Perpetua area is coming up featuring miles-long views, an ocean blowhole, a beautiful forest and a visitor center to learn more. But a grouping of worthy stops will come up quickly.

6. Safety officer here to deliver a word of caution. A water rescue is nearly impossible amid the churning waves, so take care. If the tide is very high, stay up on the paved trail and view everything from a distance.

   10분

7. the Heceta Head area, home to some great views and a beautiful 19th-century classic red-roofed lighthouse with a beam visible 21 miles out to sea.

9. We’ll soon arrive in Yachats, and this is my definition of a perfect example of an Oregon Coast town. We’ll find a couple of great restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, a brewpub featuring unique ingredients like spruce beer, an excellent fish market and a couple of shops for visitors.

10. There aren't any must-do stops but the town is pleasant of course, with a couple of restaurants to pick from. This is the location where the Alsea River empties into the Pacific Ocean and that means an interesting bridge is coming up.

    10분

11. Throughout this tour I speak quite a bit about how Conde McCullough built many of the bridges along the Oregon Coast. Well alas, we are about to cross one that he did NOT design. This bridge, over Alsea Bay was opened in 1991 to replace the original bridge, and that original in fact was designed and built in 1936 by McCullough.

    10분

12. Wouldn't it be cool to have a park named after you? We are closing in on Brian Booth State Park, named in 2013 after the first Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission chairperson.

About Astoria

Astoria is an Oregon port where the Columbia River meets the Pacific, the first American settlement west of the Rockies, with a hilltop tower.

Astoria sits on a hillside at the mouth of the Columbia River, where the great river meets the Pacific in north-western Oregon. John Jacob Astor's fur company founded a post here in 1811, the first American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains, and the port grew on salmon canning, timber and shipping. Victorian houses climb the hill, and the 6.6-kilometre Astoria-Megler Bridge crosses the river to Washington State.
