Cape Perpetua Reviews

This is the one hike off 101 I tell everybody coming to the Oregon Coast they MUST take the time for. There is a great covered lookout where you can watch beautiful waves crashing in a cove before heading in to a PNW hike sure to make you think Sasquatch herself is following you. My two young kids and little dog did just fine for a quick 30 minutes in then out to have lunch at a parking lot picnic table.
