(Oregon Coast) – From the north Oregon coast down through the south coast, little can fill you with wonder like a big view from up on high. You’re not exactly touching the sky – but sometimes you’re far up enough that the clouds will touch you. On occasion you’re even above them.

Aside from that gripping I’m-at-the-beach feeling, when are you at your highest on the Oregon coast?
At its peaks. Literally, there are truly soaring places next to the sands that jut up higher than you can imagine.

Road Work Closes Part of Hwy 101 on Oregon Coast Between Florence, Yachats

(Yachats, Oregon) – Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) announced this week that a section U.S. 101 between Florence and Yachats will be closed for up to a week as crews build a retaining wall. The closure takes place at milepost 170.5, a little over two miles south of Cape Perpetua (about a half mile south of Bob’s Creek Wayside.)
ODOT said since the closure is between Sea Lion Caves and Cook’s Cavern, there are a few areas with enough space where larger vehicles can turn around.
