The Oregon Coast, Cascade Mountains, Columbia Gorge, and Canadian Rockies in Pictures
These Oregon Coast photos were made on Cascade Head, a basalt headland that extends into the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Salmon River Estuary. Cascade Head is a Nature Conservancy preserve located a few miles north of Lincoln City. The view from Cascade Head is one of the most dramatic vistas on the Oregon coast, and is well worth the relatively short hike.
Looking south from the Nature Conservancy's Cascade Head Preserve toward Lincoln City and Road's End, Oregon. The lower part of the Salmon River Estuary is on the left. A fisherman returning from the Pacific Ocean is about to beach his boat on the sandspit. This massive headland shelters the mouth of the river, making this a popular place for fishermen and for sea kayaks.
