Beach Days!!
The coast is anywhere from 1 hour 45 min, to 3 hours from Silver Falls depending on the location. Tons of cute PNW beach towns, state parks, hikes, good food, big trees and big ol' rocks! Here's some OR Coast suggestions: Astoria, Tillamook Creamery, Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach & Haystack Rock, Cape Lookout, Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor, Florence & Heceta Head Lighthouse, Manzanita
Deepest Lake in the US.
3.5 Hours from Silver Falls Stunning, breathtaking blue lake formed from the ancient Mount Mazama eruption. We spent many days there last year when we lived nearby in the Umpqua National Forest. FUN FACT: Andrew proposed to Jess here!
