Coastal Trails and Ancient Forests Weekend
On this trip you’ll visit lighthouses, ancient forests, coastal beaches, and spectacular overlooks on this weekend trip to hike and explore the Oregon Coast. We’ll stay in rustic accommodations (yurts) with electricity and heat, where we’ll hang out in the evenings to stay warm and dry. Spring comes to the Oregon Coast a few weeks earlier than Portland, so the frogs will entertain you at night with their choruses, and the first wildflowers will be blooming.

No experience necessary! This trip is a great option for anyone who wants to explore the Oregon coast, but may or may not have any experience in the outdoors. We’ll plan to hike short stretches of 1-3 miles, with plenty of time to take in the scenery.
Participants should be prepared to spend several hours outdoors walking on uneven terrain carrying day packs. This trip lends itself well to a wide variety of accessibility accommodations, including mobility accommodations. Contact outdoors@lclark.edu.
