Winters in the Pacific Northwest can be dreary, with endless days of rain. However, it can also be a great time to camp at the coast whenever there’s a break in the wet weather.
Cape Disappointment is located at the southern end of the Washington Coast – where the Columbia River meets the ocean. I spent three days exploring the area and practicing landscape photography skills.
The Sunset Bay campground provides access to several scenic miles of the Oregon Coast Trail – where I spent three days hiking with a fellow photographer friend so we could focus on landscape photography.
We spent three days camping at Ohanapecosh Campground and doing short hikes at Paradise and Sunrise.
Four day camping + hiking trip in northern California’s Redwoods National Park
Smith Rock State Park is located in the high desert of Central Oregon. An internationally renowned location for rock climbing, the park also has plenty of trails for hikers who want to experience the majestic rock scenery.
Cape Lookout State Park is my favorite place for camping on the Oregon Coast, and has been a tradition for my husband and I to camp here every year since we moved to Oregon ten years ago.
