Famous for the reddish sand that occasionally gathers and large, rock islands known as sea stacks, Ruby Beach is one of the most well-known and highly anticipated beaches to visit along the Olympic coastline. Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles south of the town of Forks.
Located in the Willamette National Forest’s Cascade Mountains between the cities of Eugene and Bend, Proxy Falls is the very picture of Oregon. Dark, glossy rocks covered in verdant moss surround the two-tiered falls, which contribute to its magical feel. The waterfall is notable for its main drop of 226 feet which makes it one of the highest plunge waterfalls in Oregon.
