Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area

DESCRIPTION: Please accept my invitation to join me on my annual trek to climb The Great Dune in Pacific City. On the off chance you haven't been, it's a massive sand formation that may test your mettle. "Your steep climb up the towering dune will be rewarded with scenes of waves pummeling rugged, twisting rocks and crevices."

NOTE: If your plans have changed, please change your RSVP from "going" to "not going" as soon as possible. Thank you.

DISTANCE: Dependant on add-on walks on beach or proximate areas.

GETTING THERE: If you'd like to carpool with me, I can take up to 3 people. Send me a DM, and let's work out the details by Thursday at the latest.

MEET: Pelican Brewing, 33180 Cape Kiwanda Drive, Pacific City, OR 97135.

TIME: Depart 10 AM. Travel is about 1.75 hours; meet at noon near the pub on the beach.

FITNESS LEVEL: The dune is challenging to climb, but fun to run or roll down (if you want); followed by some pleasant beach walking.

ATTIRE: Early fall is prime time in Pacific City, but there's always a chance of sprinkles. Water, sunscreen, your adventurous spirit. Forecast says 65 degrees, mixed clouds and sunshine.

GUESTS: Yes, guests are welcome, please register them by name when you sign up.

AFTER WALK FUELING: The Grateful Bread Bakery is my personal favorite; the Pelican Brewery is also an option.
