By popular request... I've only been a member of this group a short while, but when conversing with group members, this hike has come up again and again as a favorite.

This is a coastal hike and will take all day. The round-trip hike is long and steep in sections, but is a beautiful hike through coastal forests as well as a walk along the beach.

***What to Bring:***
Bring water, wet weather gear, warm clothes, good shoes/boots, and food for lunch (we'll stop for lunch at Heceta Head).

***Travel Details:***
We'll meet at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 17 at the Target parking lot on West 11th (4575 W 11th Ave, Eugene, OR). From there, we'll carpool to Carl Washburne State Park. Carpools will leave Eugene shortly after 9 A.M. and the hike will begin from Washburne State Park around 10:30 A.M. (approx).

***Fees:***
There appears to be no day-use fee for Washburne State Park. If carpooling, please be prepared to help out with gas money.
