Soar to the recipe…
Cape Lookout State Park on the Oregon Coast has been a repeat cease for me with two journeys recently, one in December once I took a fast jaunt down to choose some Christmas presents up in Hood River and Dayton (I do know, not even near the coast) after which a second time this March once we had a weekend away to have a good time our eighth anniversary. We discovered on this second journey {that a} vital development closure was deliberate to begin in just some weeks!
Seaside hikes are the most effective within the winter, extra solitude. I really like this little waterfall that cascades down onto the seashore when you find yourself strolling southbound from the day use space.
Go at low tide or take rubber boots, there’s a creek flowing onto the seashore that may in any other case current a major impediment earlier than the waterfall.
These weren’t my first visits to Cape Lookout, I’ve loved this scenic state park through the years on street journeys and household tenting journeys. It has a bit of of all the things and is conveniently situated near Tillamook, between Astoria and Newport on the Oregon Coast.
I extremely advocate including it to your journey record however be certain that to notice that it gained’t be open this summer season (2026) as there’s a deliberate closure initially of June for repairs (the date was April 1st once we have been there however has been pushed again so test for updates). See beneath for some in a single day options. You may in all probability hike the park trails however tenting and the day use space will likely be a no-go. I felt blessed that the park had been open each occasions I had deliberate to go to since they’ve had this development within the works since 2024.
In getting ready for our anniversary journey I packed some meals goodies for tenting, together with a tasty model of my Stone Age bread. Each time I make this hearty loaf, I’m all the time attempting to “spice” issues up a bit. For this one I swapped out the sesame seeds for pine nuts and added oregano and garlic. I additionally tossed in some dried tomatoes from our backyard final 12 months!
Not solely did we nosh on the bread for breakfast, I took just a few slices on our hike to the pinnacle of Cape Lookout on the Cape Path. We began proper from the day use space subsequent to the campground on the North Path which connects as much as the car parking zone for the Cape Path (about 9-10 miles roundtrip complete). Like many coastal hikes, this was one muddy, rooty trek!
Nevertheless it was price it for the views. No whale sightings at this time however there was magnificence available in every single place.
I do know I say this on a regular basis, however this can be my favourite model of stone age bread (for now). Don’t be afraid to make it your individual in your subsequent out of doors journey with further flavors like chopped recent basil or a contact of shredded laborious cheese.
