Along the ocean coast of Oregon, USA and between the cities of Seaside and Cannon Beach lies Ecola State Park. It stretches along 9 miles of coastline and offers outstanding sightseeing. It is perched dramatically on the edge of Tillamook Head and the short 3.5 mile road winds through old growth rainforest before emerging at one of the Oregon Coast’s most famous views, overlooking numerous rock formations and the capes and headlands miles to the south. That is our turnaround point where I will give you a few seconds to take in the view.
Only 7 miles long with 1000 feet of climbing (some on short 13% grades), this ride will test your gear shifting. At the start and end of the ride you can see the famous Haystack Rock in the distance.
