Tillamook Coast: The Oregon Coast Trail

10 12 2016

My latest for Visit Tillamook Coast is about Oregon’s entirely public coastline and the trail that explores it. From the article:

“Thanks in large part to governors Oswald West and Tom McCall, the Oregon Coast belongs to all of us. The sea stacks, beaches, meadows – it is all open to the public. The Oregon Coast Trail (OCT) was designed and developed to showcase the splendor of our beloved coastline. From where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, down to the California border, the OCT explores the coast and more.” Click here to read the whole story.
