The beach is one of Winters’ favorite places, and this one did not disappoint. Cannon Beach is an adorable seaside town that is known for the main attraction at Ecola State Park, Haystack Rock.
The Columbia River Gorge
My trail of choice was Dog Mountain, located on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge about an hour from Portland. This was Winter first peek ever, so the name of the hike was very fitting.
