I am excited to share this walk/hike of Indian Sands Hike along beautiful Oregon Coast. It is a 1.1 mile loop through the trees and along the coast.
The Oregon Coast has some great features, as compared to other coast lines, big pointy rocks, trees that go right up to the coast.
I went on this same hike 3 years ago and blogged about it here Share Our World: Indian Sands Hike, Oregon Coast.
It was really interesting to see how many had changed in that amount of time. There are no more succulents along the trail and the sand dunes have shifted.
It is still very green on parts of the trail. Below is the trail through the forest going down.
And this is coming up the trail on the other side.
Now let's see the ocean! Here is the first view of the ocean when you emerge out of the forest.
We quickly made our way to the bridge formation.
We stayed here for awhile some pondering, some chatting, me and Meganne getting a selfie. Actually right before Meganne came over I was enjoying watching the waved crash up into the rocks. It was really soothing.
I was so enamored with the blues and greens that I didn't get any pictures of some of the group jumping in the sand dunes. Below you can see some sand and how bare it looks.
Once you walk to the edge of this cliff you see this beautiful sight! This coastline is so different from the one I grew up with in San Diego, California. I prefer the Oregon coast, it is more of walking and hiking beach, instead of swim and tanning beach. Being fair skinned I always burned when I was out of the water and I was so skinny that I always froze when I was in the water. It was not my favorite place.
The Oregon Coast is wonderful. Sometimes I even need my winter clothes! I will show you some fun pictures when we are at the beach later in the trip.
Oh and here are a few plants along the way!
