This was our first camping trip in Oregon, and our first visit to the coast. The more we see of Oregon, the more there is to love. The pictures I am posting in no way do this area justice. It is something you have to experience. We camped at Harris Beach State Park, just north of Brookings. We also visited Lone Ranch Beach and Whale’s Head Beach, which are part of the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor. The Corridor is home to 16 miles of trail along the Oregon coast. This will not be our last visit here! On our way home we stopped at Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park in northern California. This is another place that you have to experience. The redwoods are majestic. They are enormous. The trunks must have been 6-8 feet in diameter and you cannot see the top of the trees, they seem to go on forever. In addition to the redwoods, the crystal clear, aquamarine, Smith River runs through the park. It was an incredible weekend. The coast is a scenic 2 hour drive from Grants Pass down the Redwood Highway.
