Located south of Newport, Seal Rock State Wayside features large off-shore rock formations that provide habitat for seals, sea lions, sea birds and other marine life. The beach includes interesting tidepools as well as excellent ocean views and a sandy beach. While the geology is millions of years old, the ocean life here is constant and thrives. Seal Rock began its life as a vacation destination for early pioneers who enjoyed the small resort town.
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.
