cascade head trail印象

Let me explain. There are two trails to the beautiful views of Cascade Head. At the crest of the mountain on Hwy. 101 is a side road with a gate which is locked much of the year. If you are lucky enough for it to be open, you have an easy hike out to the head. If it is locked, you go to the south side and take the steep trail up.

Caught this place on a clear day. Took the upper trail and hiked down a bit from the upper overlook. The view alone was worth the hike back up. The upper trailhead is perfect for young children and those not up to the long slog uphill, and for those with time limitations. Glad some of the locals recommended this hike.

There is a long way to hike to the Cascade Head viewpoint, and an easy way. You can drive up most of the way on a decent gravel road (we don't have a 4WD vehicle, and it was a piece of cake), and do the relatively easy 1-mile hike (about 150 vertical feet) to the same viewpoint that others are describing with the 1,200 foot vertical. This option is a good alternative if you have small children, or people in your party which can't handle the longer hike.Either way, it's an absolutely spectacular view of the Salmon River estuary and the Lincoln City Beach, for miles and miles to the south and southeast. While there wasn't a fee, there was a donation box for the Nature Conservancy, which we happily contributed to.Watch your hat, though -- the breeze can be pretty strong, and once your hat heads down the slope, you're not going to be able to retrieve it!

No restrooms, plan accordingly. Trail narrow in places, but very beautiful. Be sure and take your camera, for some pictures you will treasure. Elk, eagles, views of Salmon River and Lincoln City beaches are all there.

The Most Beautiful Place on The Oregon Coast.Mom and I decided to drive over to Lincoln city and do this hike, and we are sure glad we did. We hit the first part of the upper trailhead point which was a mile in and my mom decide to go back because her knees couldn't take going down the hill and backup it. So I went a little further down towards the cliff area, and I'm glad I did because the view was breathtaking and the Kool ocean breeze was nice on this hot day, I also got a great view of the Three Rocks area and Salmon river running inland from the Pacific ocean. Now the hike back up really sucked and I was stopping every 20 feet or so to take a break..................Lol, but in the future I would like to hike from the top all the way down to the bottom to the Three rocks park and do the whole 5 miles if I'm able to, but that's just a thought.

6-7 miles up and back, 1200 foot climb. Starts out at the mouth of the Salmon River, winds through rain forest, then up a hill. Hikers are rewarded with Spctacular views of the ocean, coast and river valley for more than half of the hike. The day we were there, we could see for miles down the coastline. The weather was beautiful, and there was a crowd at the top of the mountain (but we saw very few people while on the trail).We took 1 hour and 15 minutes to the top, and are middle aged (I'm 50, but can't share my wife's age), and are in decent shape.The trail is maintained by the Nature Conservancy.Great day hike!

We visited OR in September of 2013 for our 25th anniversary. We flew into Portland, rented a car, drove to the coast and spent several days touring from Pacific City to Florence. I had read about the Cascade Head Trail, so on our way from Pacific City to Newport we stopped to check it out. We started the hike but soon realized that this was not a hike my wife was going to enjoy so we turned back and drove on to Newport. That evening I couldn't get this trail out of my head and we decided to do separate things the next day. She would shop in Newport and Nye Beach and I would drive back to hike Cascade Head. And am I glad I did! A few miles north of Lincoln City turn left onto 3 Rocks Road. A couple of twisty turny miles west along the Salmon River to the trail head which is well marked. The trail starts off along a road which leads to some private properties then cuts sharply into the woods. The climb is gradual at first that leads through some old growth forest with trees that are enormous. Spend some time appreciating how grand these old fellows are. I have only seen larger ones (Redwoods) in the Muir Woods National Park of Sausalito, CA. The trail becomes steep,your heart begins to pound and you will need to stop and drink water (and catch your breath) 30 minutes on the trail (about 3/4 mi), roughly 500 feet of gain you will come to a sign post. This is where I wondered if I could keep going. I rested for 5 minutes and decided that I didn't come this far to turn back. Another 15 minutes on the trail and another 100 feet of gain and the canopy begins to open up. All of a sudden the trail levels out, turns into a meadow and the most beautiful classic Oregon coastline scene is on your left. I spent about 10 minutes taking pictures and re-hydrating when I noticed large piles of scat. Very large piles and lots of them. Hmm, I wondered what that could be from and decided it was time to head back down. I didn't see anyone all the way up and it wasn't until I was about 100 yards from the trail head that another group was heading to one of the most picturesque scenes of the Oregon coast. Sorry if the picture doesn't look right - it's a panoramic shot - the only way to capture this site.

One gorgeous spot. We didn't explore all the trails, but went to end of road, checked out the river by where it enters the ocean, and walked the shores by the boathouse and vacant summer homes along the river. Many birds, shells, fish, crabs and signs of other larger land animals. On a future trip we plan to brind a kayak, or other floater to check out the other shore, inacessable by walking.

One of the most enjoyable things we did on our trip to the Oregon coast. Really enjoyed the hike through the trees. It was foggy that day so we didn't get the great view of the ocean, but the forest just beyond the top of the hike seemed like something out of the Hobbit movie - it was awesome!
