About 10 miles south of us is a small coastal town call Yachats (ya-hots) and there is a federal park there. It has a population about 650 and is called the Gem of the Oregon Coast. Made a day trip there and visited the park. From the visitors center you can go down to the beach (pictures in 2nd post) or you can hike up the 802 foot and 2.2 mile long trail to a lookout. The picture looking up is from the visitors center. We really wanted to see it so we went up. Oh, not hiking, there is also a road and parking lot atop of the mountain. From there it is a 3/4 round trip to the rock lookout. The lookout was built in 1930 and was used as a lookout for planes and ships during WW ll. The view from there was amazing. You could see both ways up the coast.
