Cascade Head and Harts Cove

Cascade Head and Harts Cove is a little bit further off the beaten path than Cannon Beach, but the view is just as spectacular. The total hike takes around four hours and has and elevation of eleven hundred feet. Its a fairly easy hike with some areas being just a little bit more difficult. Come equipped for a breezy coastal hike...windbreaker, water, good hiking boots, and a snack or well packed picnic lunch in your day pack...Don't forget the camera to get shots of whale, ocean kayaks, Eagles, and other sea life...and a pair of binoculars is a must for any hike on the coast, and if its sunny out don't forget the sunscreen. Depending on your tolerance for the weather in Oregon this hike is available to do mid July through November...if you want to see whale check out when whale watching season is along the coast you will have a great vantage point along this trail to see the migrating pods. This is a great family hike filled with tons to see and do. Sadly Fido can't be included on this trip due to the regulations of the Nature Conservancy, and their constant efforts to protect the endangered plant and animal life in the area. Rounding out the hike with a trip to the beach to get your feet wet, and view the spectacular water fall at Harts Cove. This is a great day hike that starts with a short trail to Cascade Head through a dense forest of Sitka Spruce and Douglas Firs. Take the afternoon off and head to the beach...enjoy to day, and see the sights.
