TRAVEL AND EXCURSIONS
Northern Oregon Coast, Tuesday, July 27, 1999
($60; departs 8:45, returns 18:00; price of lunch not
included)
Traveling westward from Portland, magnificent valleys
flourishing with orchards and wineries come into
view before entering the towering Douglas Fir forests
of the Oregon Coast Mountain Range. The first stop
will be Seaside, Oregon, a favorite vacation spot for
northwesterners and a charming and bustling coastal
resort community. Seaside is home of the Lewis and
Clark Trail Monument, the site where Lewis and Clark
first saw the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy unique specialty
shops, fun attractions or enjoy a walk on the long
stretch of sandy beach. While visiting Seaside you will
also have plenty of time for a leisurely lunch in one of
the many fine seafood restaurants.
Your tour continues south on Highway 101 to
Cannon Beach. This quaint artists’ community filled
with many galleries and interesting shops also affords
a spectacular view of Haystack Rock, one of Oregon’s
most photographed sites. Continuing south to the historic
Tillamook Bay area, the next stop will be a visit
to the Tillamook Cheese Factory, one of the Oregon
coast’s most popular attractions. From there you will
return to Portland, once again crossing the beautiful
Oregon Coast Mountain Range.
