There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,There is a rapture on the lonely shore,There is society, where none intrudes,By the deep sea, and music in its roar. I love not man the less, but Nature more. -Lord Byron

Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, OR; January 2015

We have been on something of a hiking hiatus lately due to the holidays and related travel, but were glad to return to the foggy PNW to check out some trails we haven't been on in a while. A family favorite in the hike from Ecola State Park down to Crescent Beach.There are two trailheads from the parking lot of the park, one which goes towards Indian Beach, and one that goes toward Crescent Beach. The Crescent Beach trail is 2.4 miles (round trip) of muddy, foggy, awesome Old Growth (this time of year anyway.) The beach is generally deserted, and is a great place to let the dogs lose their minds!
