Summer School ~ Heceta Head and Cape Perpetua

I almost forgot to post the rest of the pictures from last week’s Oregon Coast hike. I’ll squeeze these in tonight, because we head out for another hike tomorrow morning!

After hiking Hobbit Trail and combing Hobbit Beach, we drove down the road to Heceta Head to visit the lighthouse.

Above is Cape Creek Bridge, just past Heceta Head. The highway tunnels through the rock, just past the bridge.

You can see the tiny speck of bridge in the photo below, taken from the trail up to the lighthouse.

We were able to takea  short tour of the lighthouse and see the stairs (but not climb them).

We kept hearing a booming sound, and I think it was the surf hitting inside the natural caves.

The assistant lighthouse keeper’s house now serves as a bed and breakfast.

After hiking up to the lighthouse, we drove a little further to Cape Perpetua, where we hiked a trail up to the West Shelter.

Tomorrow we head east instead of west!
