Oregon Coast

We stopped off on the Oregon Coast Near the Oregon Dunes on our way up to Smith Rock State Park.
It offers some really diverse conditions.
First off, the beach is often broken up by mountains.
Makes for interesting hiking.
And because of the rock intrusion they have to add more light houses.
And when you do get down to the ocean you will often find tidal pools.
Right next to all of this is forest.  The dogs enjoy exploring the mini-caves created by the rotting trees.
And the trails are often shaded and cool to walk.
A little bit further south you get into the actual "Dunes".


The dogs really enjoy running in the sand.

We had a lot of fun playing in the sand, but decided to go for a little dune buggy ride.


It's still pretty cool this time of year.  So when we decided to watch a sunset we had to dress a little warmer.

Mother nature didn't care about the temperature and managed to paint another wonderful sunset.
