Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Camp 18 Logging Museum, 42364 Sunset Highway, Seaside, OR 97138-6162

Those who want to learn more about logging history in the northwest, or who simply are curious about vintage logging machinery, will find plenty of material at Camp 18. Outdoor displays include multiple steam donkeys such as a Dolbeer single spool, a very early first-generation model, to a high-tech late-model Willamette compound geared yarder that was the height of technology for its day. Other displays on site include a large bandsaw from a sawmill, a self-propelled Ohio steam crane, Caterpillar-style tracked vehicles that worked in the woods, a railroad skeleton log car and other heavy equipment plus a wide variety of large and small hardware. We will make a quick stop here on our way to the spectacular Oregon Coast so that you can explore the historic equipment, use the restroom, and buy some coffee if you want.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Neahkahnie Mountain, Oregon

This peak is an inspiring place, where the Tillamook tribe believed their most powerful god resided. In fact, the name Neahkahnie comes from their words Ne ("place of") and Ekahnie ("supreme deity").  

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Short Sands Beach, Manzanita, OR 97130

Stretching along four miles of coastline in dense, temperate rainforest, Oswald West State Park has a beautifully secluded sandy beach and miles of trails leading to breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.  This vast, scenic treasure is without a doubt one of the most spectacular parks in Oregon. 

Duration: 25 minutes

Stop At: Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, OR 97110

No visit to Cannon Beach would be complete ­without visiting Ecola State Park, perched dramatically on the edge of Tillamook Head.

While in Cannon Beach you will have time for lunch at one of their amazing restaurants.  Cannon Beach is also famous for its amazing beaches. 

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Haystack Rock, Us 101, Cannon Beach, OR 97110

 Haystack Rock is one of Oregon’s most recognizable landmarks, home to colorful tidepools and diverse bird life. It rises 235 feet from the edge of the shoreline.

The entire trip is fantastic, from hotel pickup to drop-off. The guide cum driver Phil was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. The stops planned were perfect; we wouldn't have been able to do it by ourselves: Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock, and all stops in between, old-growth forest hikes, restroom stops, and food/coffee stops. I would recommend this trip to anybody. Enjoy the beautiful Oregon Coast with this tour company. I would do this trip again if I came back to Portland.

Did the Cannon Beach & Haystack full day tour. Of course, the Oregon coastline is amazing! That goes without saying. It would have been nice to spend a little more time at each place, spending on average 20-25 min each location (other than a full 1.5 hrs at Cannon beach). That is just what it is given the length of the day. However the real gem of this was our guide, Phil. What a cool, down to earth, friendly, and outstandingly knowledgeable guide he was. Guides can be a make or break, and he was a true ‘make’! Excellent trip.
