25. The movie, "Goonies"* was filmed there

We went to Oregon for the first time a couple years ago and went to Cannon Beach during our drive around the state. We wanted to see that rock that was in the movie. It was so beautiful but very crowded when we went, so we didn't stay long and look through the shops -- just walked out to that beach area there where that famous rock is.

Nice pictures!

*edited the movie from "Gremlins" to "Goonies". I forgot that it was the "Goonies" filmed there, not Gremlins.

[HuckleB]

28. Most of the movie was filmed in Astoria, up the coast, but, yes, CB's Haystack Rock is amazing.

[R B Garr]

39. Okay, yes, he was just reminding me about that - it was more up by the Columbia River

and he even remembered Astoria where it was filmed (I don't have the best sense of direction as he reminds me all the time, lol).

I'm forgetting the name of the Falls we went to right outside of Portland. I Googled Oregon hiking trails, but we both couldn't remember it right off hand. Do you recall the Falls around that area? I'm still Googling.... We just loved it. Very crowded there, as well when we went.

[HuckleB]

40. Probably Multnomah Falls.

There are many wonderful falls and hikes in the Columbia Gorge, but Multnomah Falls are the grandest.

If you're ever back in the area, check out Eagle Creek Trail, in the Gorge. It's one of the most stunning hikes I've done anywhere in the world.

Cheers!

[R B Garr]

41. Okay, that must be it. I recognized it from some pictures I Googled and the Bridal Veil area

rang a bell. It was just stunning. I'll make a note of the Eagle Creek Trail as I still have my Triple AAA maps and books from our driving trip because we want to go back. Thanks. It sounds like you are an avid outdoors fan and hiker. Very nice!

3. It's not as warm as it looks, though.

I think that's safe to say.

[lame54]

4. It's this warm...

[Warren DeMontague]

12. That looks about right.

[HuckleB]

13. Wow! Blue sky in February!

I just talked to a friend in Oly and he said it was raining for the the last week and a half nonstop.

Nice shot of the crows!

[Dirty Socialist]

14. I Will Try to Make It Out There

Next time I go to Portland.

[OKNancy]

[juajen]

30. Very pretty daughters should not object to photos being shown. Just sayin'.

[In_The_Wind]

36. They are beautiful.

I love the background.

[pa28]

17. Cannon Beach is the best.

Looks like the weather was pretty nice and no I'm not kidding.

[lame54]

19. It would rain all day then break about 4...

time to hit the beach

[KT2000]

20. If I was a bird

I would hang out at Cannon Beach too. Love that place! Thanks for the pic.

[Bjorn Against]

21. I just visited Oregon and Cannon Beach for the first time last spring

It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, the forest in Ecola State Park just on the edge of town may be the most beautiful forest I have ever seen and I am a lifelong hiker. I really want to go back to Oregon, it was the best vacation I ever took.

[lame54]

22. It's amazing...

how many people on this board have been to this tiny beach
I only heard about it because it was featured on HGTV
We went to visit family in Portland and thought we would head out for a few days to check it out
I guess I am the last to discover it

The town of Cannon Beach is beautiful and the people are so cool

[Bjorn Against]

23. Yeah, Oregon is really one of our nation's most underrated vacation destinations

Oregon is such a beautiful state with a really awesome culture, amazingly good food, and jawdropping scenery. I can't wait to go back again, it may rain a lot but when that rain produces such spectacular forests it is worth getting a little bit wet.

[OKNancy]

26. go east of Portland next time to the Mt. Hood area

We did that on our second visit. Took in a brewery on the way.
Then to the cherry orchards. Then the lodge on Mt Hood.

[Bjorn Against]

32. I did visit Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge north of it, absolutely breathtaking

[OKNancy]

24. in town when we went, I had the best fried oysters

wish I could remember the name of the place. It was very busy!

[dilby]

27. I live in Oregon so I go couple times a year.

It was also in the movie Goonies so it's pretty well known.

[llmart]

37. Went to Cannon Beach back in the early 90's.

Beautiful place. It was the last week of April and we saw quite a bit of the coast and other sites, but Cannon Beach was my favorite. Hiked to the top of Multnomah Falls, but I was about 20 years younger then

[HuckleB]

31. If you're a hiker... spend some time in Central Oregon.

Another incredible spot is Indian Heaven Wildnerness in Southwest Washington. I love Mt. Hood, but for hiking, we head across the river, because the beauty is just as grand and there are much fewer people. (It's quite far from Seattle, and many Portlanders seem to think that crossing border is a bad thing.)

[Bjorn Against]

33. Thanks for the suggestion, I will put it on the list of places I want to see next time.

[Scootaloo]

34. Ahhh, I kinda miss that area

Lived up by Tillamook bay for a while. Hard to find a pretty coastline than Oregon, if you ask me

[DeSwiss]

35. K&R

- It's a Murder! A Murder I tells ya!!!

[bkanderson76]

38. Been There Done That....Beautiful....Sure in The Hell Miss It....thanks lame54

[JBoy]

42. From BC, love the Oregon coast!

One of our favourite camping spots is Cape Lookout State Park, a little south of there. View from one of the hiking trails:

[Dustlawyer]

43. In my work I have traveled in about 80% of the states and so far Oregon is the most beautiful!

[SalviaBlue]

44. I love those sea stacks!!!!

And the birds.

[Lizzie Poppet]

45. Lovely!

I need to drive out to the coast (Portlander here...), maybe this weekend!
