Nice little trail with some good viewpoints of the ocean and some local history to boot. The trail goes right and ends and the middle portion is concrete and near the end of that you can take a left and it goes back to the museum which is open seasonally. Easy enough for almost anyone to do with well placed guard rails to make it safer for children. Stay on Port Orford highway it ends at the museum and the trail starts there.
2/21/21: Beautiful hike, way more than what I was expecting. Not a challenge, so if you’re looking for a challenge, this may not be for you...but it’s short enough that you can do it before or following a difficult hike. I broke my ankle two months ago and am still in a boot and it was very doable. There were a couple spots to go off trail that I couldn’t do because it was too downhill, so I’ll definitely come back! We usually hike for distance and elevation, so being broken has been kinda nice for allowing us to find little gems like this.
Easy walking trail. The area was covered with smoke and fog due to recent Oregon fires. Nice walk for kiddos. We did sea lions perched on a rock ledge.
Nice trail with good views. Well maintained. My 19 month old son walked most of the trail with me.
Beautiful sunset! Definitely worth checking out! Easy hike! Be careful if it’s windy you won’t want to blow away ! Gorgeous views check out my pictures!
Hard to know where the trail is. Some pretty views though, you’ll need the map on here
Beautiful well kept trail with some great history lessons along the way
Saw a few grey whales right at the head. Not a long hike at all, but some uphill parts on the loop.
