Description
This trail was by far the most rewarding I've ever hiked. I am new to hiking but I can't imagine any better place to hike than the Oregon coast. The Falcon Cape section was probably the most well traveled, but only the first mile or two. The trails were well managed but not to the point where it felt like a museum. The less traveled trails were overgrown in parts, which I enjoy.

The view along the trail was absolutely fantastic. Looking south from atop Mt. Neahkahnie one can see probably 30 miles down the coast. The rest of the trail winds along the coast and offers picturesque lookouts over the Pacific.

Directions to Hike
Park in the Day Use lot off of Hwy 101 in Oswald West State Park. The trail can be picked up at three or four different parking lots in the area.
