These photos are from my archives and last years vacation to Oregon.  Hubby and I enjoyed traveling up and down the Oregon coast. The Oregon coast is very scenic, I love the rocky coast, the lighthouse and all the critters.

Cape Mears, a high steep bluff is located on the south end of Tillamook Bay, Oregon.

The Cape Mears Scenic viewpoint has three miles of hiking trails. One is the trail to the Cape Mears Lighthouse.



This area also includes the wildlife refuge. There are great viewpoints to see the native birds and whales.



I hope you enjoyed my scenic weekend.  I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend.

I am showing some of the beautiful scenery we saw while driving the scenic Columbia River Gorge. There were many viewpoints to pull over and admire the beautiful river.

The wildflowers along the scenic overlook were beautiful.



The scenic views are beautiful on both sides of the river. I think the dramatic sky add some beauty to the scene.


We pulled over at the scenic overlook by the river to enjoy the sunset. The Queen Anne's lace looked pretty near the river's edge.


We did see a nice reflection of the sunset on the Columbia River. I hope you enjoyed our drive along the Columbia River

 Here we are hiking to Mirror Lake in Oregon near Mount Hood.











I hope you enjoyed coming on the walk with hubby and I. We had a great time and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery of Oregon.

A walk down the foggy beach leds us to this waterfall, a beautiful sight to see along the Oregon coastline.


 Above is one of my favorite Oregon coast photos, I was able to include a purple starfish along with the waterfall.


I was amazed at all the starfish and the green anemone were a cool sight to see.


I couldn't decide whether I liked the purple or the orange Starfish. I believe they can also be called sea-stars. Even their names sound cute.



Not far from the waterfall were a couple of little sea caves. You would not want to be there when the tide is high.


It was a little hike back to the parking lot and our car. The trail took you over the bridge and thru this gorgeous forest.


Not sure how deep these roots are but I would not want to be around when this tall tree falls.


You can not get lost here, the signs on the trail were pretty clear. I loved the green forest of the Pacific Northwest. The trails are just lush, you want to linger and check out every little thing.

I hope you enjoyed my hike thru the forest to the beach. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the nice comments. To see more watery shots please visit Watery Wednesday and for more of the green check out Fiona's Green Day and for your scenic shots please visit Linses Cotton's Scenic Weekends. I hope to see you there!

I took a lot of photos while vacationing in Oregon..On this day we made a few stops on the way to Mount Hood.




Oregon in July ..Hubby and I traveled along the scenic Columbia River highway. Stopping at a fish hatchery and Cascade Locks.


A visit to the fish hatchery.




A view of the bridge connecting Oregon to Washington state. The bridge is called the Bridge of the Gods.





Sailing and windsurfing is popular sport on the Hood River in Oregon.



I hope you enjoyed these Oregon sights, thanks for coming along.

I am kind of tired of winter and I am really looking forward to Spring. These are some archive shots from our trip back in July, 2012  to Oregon. Hubby and I hiked to see the Bridal Veil Falls. I might have showed the waterfall before but not all the lush greenery and trail.




A view from the trail leading to the waterfall and overlook.



Bridal Veil Falls was chug-a-lugging. The scene was very pretty with the waterfall and all the greenery.

This was the trail up to the overlook for the waterfall.


Oregon in July was very lush and green.I love these big and beautiful ferns.

And these moss covered trees are just gorgeous. I felt like I was walking in a rainforest. Lush greenery everywhere you looked.
