Details: The view of Heceta Head Lighthouse from Highway 101 is probably the single most photographed spot in all of Oregon. Instead of having to jostle for a parking spot, why not reach the lighthouse from the trail? You'll appreciated it more!
Driving time: 2 hours, 25 minutes
Driving directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y961DAQQct7eoqGj7
Entry or parking fee: $5
Hiking route: Beginning at Heceta Head Lighthouse Trailhead, this hike is a loop hike up and over Heceta Head to Carl Washburne State Park and back via the beach.
Difficulty level: Moderate
Distance: 5.9 miles
Elevation gain: 800 feet
Pluses: Lush coastal forest, a walk on the beach, and an iconic Oregon landmark in Heceta Head Lighthouse.
Minuses: Virtually all of the elevation gain is all at once as we hike up and over Heceta Head. And double the pleasure, as we get to do that both coming and going.
For more information call or text Rheo at 541-643-0727.
On the day of the hike: Meet at 8 am in the Douglas County Courthouse parking lot off of Fowler St., right behind the library building.
Bring water, lunch, and appropriate clothing for hiking.
If you are riding with somebody, be prepared to share gas expenses with your driver.
The club hikes every other Saturday, rain or shine. Hiking is free, everybody is welcome.
