About This Trail

Imported description

A walk through a forest to a cliffside overlook is beautiful. This is a short hike through the woods to a stone structure with amazing views of Cape Perpetua. There are two viewpoints from the cliffs and a grove of trees to walk through. You can see the Haceta Head Lighthouse from the top on a clear day. You will also pass by a huge tree.
