Fog comes rolling in - Battery Point Lighthouse - Crescent City, CA

Visitors of Battery Point Light (originally Crescent City Lighthouse), northern California, have to cross a tide pool to get there, which is quite a bit of adventure. The lighthouse is built on an isthmus, and it is only accessible during low tide; during high tide, the isthmus becomes an island.
Extreme caution must be used when crossing the two hundred feet between the mainland and island. At any time wave action may cover the crossing area and sneaker waves can threaten visitors standing on or near the rocks and the shore of Battery Point Island.
It's not surprising that great stories about the Lighthouse and Native American legends about the Island have been crafted over time, and that lots of ghost stories are connected to the light.

Heceta Head Lighthouse - Oregon's Scenic Pacific Coast Viewpoint

Oregon's scenic Heceta Head lighthouse and light station, still allegedly haunted by a young woman named Rue, is a favorite of lighthouse aficionados. The surrounding, near-vertical rock cliffs - which evoke the plunging coastlines of Big Sur, California - made construction of Hecata Head light particularly difficult. In such a stunning setting, the picturesque light tower was destined to become a favorite of lighthouse aficionados, not to mention maritime painters and landscape photographers.
Visitors to Heceta Light in Oregon are treated to wonderful views of the rugged coastline. Even by the off-the-scale beauty standards of northern Oregon, this is a lighthouse that has to be seen to be believed, with the cool green pine forests, black rock cliffs, and chromium blue ocean below.
Sea lions and whales can be viewed from the beach and the cliff-top. Looking down, just over the railing near the lighthouse, you can spot common murres, which lay their eggs on the bare rocks. It's common to see brown pelicans and bald eagles fly by. Migrating gray whales travel to and from Alaska and Baja California right past the lighthouse. May is the busiest time of year for whale watching. Often you'll see migrating mothers with their calves as they travel close to shore.

Heceta Head Lighthouse - Oregon's iconic Pacific Coast Light

13 miles north of Florence, Oregon just past the Sea Lion Caves, Heceta Head Light is perched dramatically on the edge of a sea cliff 205 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
You get to go up to the top, take in a little history, and view the huge First Order Fresnel lens which, after dark, shoots 8 beams of light out into the darkness. If you drive by the lighthouse on a foggy night it is very easy to distinguish all eight of these beams as they rotate in the darkness. Visible for over 21 miles it is the brightest light along the entire Oregon coast.
Heceta Head is one of the most stunning lighthouses in the world whether you pronounce it "Ha - SEE - Ta'' the way most Oregonians do, or "HECK - ah - Ta'" by others. Bring binoculars to watch puffins, gulls, and other birds and the antics of the 7,000 long-necked, black Brandt's cormorants that roost April through August on the rocks below the railed yard.

Yaquina Head Light - Haunted Oregon Lighthouse

Yaquina Head Lighthouse, also known as the Cape Foulweather Lighthouse, can be a spooky place on a dark, cold, windy night. Ghosts lurking, ship compasses not working ...
John Zenor, who served from 1932 - 1954 as Yaquina Head Light's keeper, reported of the ghost,'someone unseen would come in and go up the spiral stairs. After the war [WW II] we never heard him again.'
The ghosts of Captain MacClure and a young lady in a flowing dress have been encountered by many people over the last 120 years. And there are still reports of a ghost roaming the beach nearby - a young lady searching for her father who was swept out to sea.
Yaquina Head Light has always been popular with visitors, whether seen or unseen. Keeper Zenor reported at times he would have up to 600 visitors in a day. In 1938, with close to 12,000 visitors, it was the 4th most visited lighthouse in the United States. Today Yaquina Head Lighthouse is part of the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. It is still quite popular, receiving over 400,000 visitors a year. It is only open to the public during daylight hours. Perhaps so no one gets spooked.

Oregon Coast Lighthouses - Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Located just North of Newport, Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural area is most famous for its historic lighthouses, Yaquina Bay Lighthouse and Yaquina Head Lighthouse, which can be seen many miles away as you are driving southbound on US 101.
Yaquina Head Light is Oregon's tallest and second oldest continuously operating lighthouse. It's quite a climb to conquer 110 of the 114 pretty elegant looking steps in the lighthouse, so take it slow. Once you get to the top, you can take a peek into the light itself. Over 250 panes of glass make up the light, and it was definitely a technological wonder for its time... still worthy of an 'awe' today.
The lighthouse sits on a peninsula jutting out a mile into the ocean, so the view is pretty spectacular on a clear day! Fog can get pretty intense at Yaquina Head Light, but it can roll out as fast as it will roll in, and if you are patient and simply wait until the fog rolls out, as it eventually will, you will be rewarded with some absolutely breathtaking scenery!

Cape Meares Lighthouse near Tillamook on the scenic Oregon Coast

Cape Meares Light, 217 feet above the pacific ocean, is an inactive lighthouse on the senic coast of Oregon. It is located on Cape Meares just south of Tillamook Bay. The lighthouse tower is made of sheet iron lined with bricks, the only one of its kind on the Oregon coast.
In 1938 Cape Meares was designated as a wildlife refuge especially for nesting seabirds. The surrounding vertical cliffs provide protected rookeries for numerous species. Trails lead from the main parking area to the lighthouse and viewpoints overlooking offshore islets inhabited by sea lions and nesting seabirds. Viewpoints are also a prime place for whale watching.
Also located here is a popular attraction: The Octopus Tree, an unusually large Sitka spruce named for its unique shape. It is a very unusual site to see so don�t miss it.

Oregon Lighthouses - Cape Meares Lighthouse

Cape Meares, just south of Tillamook Bay, was constructed in 1888. It is the shortest lighthouse on the on the scenic Oregon Coast. The stubby, octagonal tower is only 38 feet tall, but don't let the diminutive structure fool you. It sits on the edge of a towering cliff more than 200 feet above the ocean and its light could be observed 21 miles out to sea back in the days when it served as a functional navigation aid. Its light didn't need to be much higher than the surrounding landscape since the cliff itself provided all the elevation it needed.
Cape Meares was originally named Cape Lookout, but nautical charts produced in 1850 and 1853 mistakenly put the name on another cape 10 miles south. By the time the mistake was realized, the name was widely used by mariners for the southern cape, and in 1857 the Coast Survey decided it would be easier to rename the original Cape Lookout than fix the maps.

Forest Fantasy - Quinault - Gateway to Paradise on the Olympic Peninsula, WA

Just beyond the shores of brilliant Lake Quinault on the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington is the temperate Quinault rain forest.
Stepping into this magical place, full of huge old-growth trees, moss draped over a tree next to a small stream, dew-dripping moss-laden giant ferns and a deep forest lake is like stepping into a storybook.
Quinault's temperate rain forest receives an average of 12 feet (3.65 meter) of rain per year and is believed to be the area with the greatest number of record size giant tree species in the smallest area in the world. It is amazing to see what nature creates with so much rain which comes in heavy down pours along with a tremendous roar as countless raindrops pelt millions of leaves, each hitting with a splat, then dripping to the ground.

White Mushrooms - Quinault temperate rain forest - Olympic Peninsula, WA

Olympic National Park on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula has many secret attractions, one being Lake Quinault and the Quinault Rain Forest.
The humid, moist woods are a perfect climate for fungi to grow. Fungi are the most important decomposers in many ecosystems, and Quinault's temperate rainforest is no exception. Bracket fungi are found on standing trees that are dead or in the process of dying. Small strands (or mycelia) work their way through the rotting wood, digesting the tree's cellulose and other components. At some point the fungus grows large enough that some of the strands make their way to the outside of the tree and form the fruiting bodies that we see here. From this point high on the tree the fungus releases spores to hopefully find a tree of their own to recycle.

Spruce Burls Olympic National Park, WA

Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State is one of the world's most complex ecosystems. More than 3,000 plant-species live in its forests. One of its many extravaganzas lives in the woods above Beach One near Kaloch at the southern end of its 73 miles coastline.
While the Trail on Beach One also leads to a sandy beach, its main interest lies the burls - large bulbous growths - that appear on the Sitka spruce trees between the highway and the beach. The cause of these large knobby growths is unknown, but it is thought that they might be from something carried in the ocean spray, or perhaps a virus.
The woods along Beach 1 feature impressive examples of this eerie natural growth phenomenon: Spruce burls of enormous size.

Sitka Spruce Burls on the Olympic Coast Olympic National Park, WA

The rugged coastlines of the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park are lined with sometimes difficult-to-access beaches and spectacular forests.
The stretch between Highway 101 and Beach 1 is particularly fascinating for tree lovers. The big bulges on Beach One's ocean side spruces – the burls – are non-cancerous tumors. Damage to the tips or buds of the Sitka Spruces causes the cells to divide more rapidly. The ocean seems to be an important factor in forming the burls - the salty air may irritate the damaged buds.
Burls yield a very peculiar and highly figured wood, prized for its beauty as well as its rarity. However, the Sitka spruce burls in the coastal forest near Beach 1 are not harvested for use. Removing the tremendous-size burl would cause the death of the tree.

Burly Phantoms - Spruce Burls Beach One Olympic National Park, WA

The Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park in Washington State includes 73 miles of wild coastline and many unique beaches. Beach 1, near Kalaloch, is one of them.
Beach One features fascinating spruce burls. As you get closer to the ocean you will notice that the Sitka spruce have developed large nodules in their trunks. A burl is produced in a tree where an injury or other external stimulus, such as stress, has affected the growth pattern of the tree, causing it to grow a deformity which results in a beautiful wood. Beach One's moist environment seems to encourage these growths.

Serene and pure - Ruby Beach - Olympic Peninsula, WA

Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. It is named for the rose-colored garnet fragments found in the coarse gray sand.
Between the mighty Pacific breakers and the towering coastal firs, the pebbles and sand of Ruby Beach serve as a barrier between two worlds. So rough, wild, invigorating and untouched this magical stretch of shore calls those that are seeking a soul-soothing, spiritual experience.

Duncan Memorial Big Cedar Tree - Olympic National Park, WA

The world's largest Western Red Cedar tree, Duncan Cedar, is a bit off the beaten path about 8 miles from the Hoh Rain Forest - Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula, WA. This ancient tree has a lot of character. It has a walking size hole. 3 people could snuggly fit inside the tree. If you were ambitious, you could even perform a through trip exiting through a small hole.

Seeing Duncan's tree for the first time is an UNREAL sight. It would still be alive today if all the other trees of similar age had not been clear-cut.

Tree of Life - Duncan Memorial Big Western Red Cedar

About 4 miles off US 101, between Kalaloch and Forks, Washington stands the National Champion western red cedar tree, Duncan Memorial Big Cedar. The goliath tree (exceeded in size only by the redwoods and giant sequoias) was saved by being No. 1; all others nearby finished last, as the surrounding clearcut testifies.
The champion, standing alone in 65 acres of stumps, is a thankful but feeble example of the restraint needed in our use of natural resources. Out of the ancient forest we have carved our own totem of debt, symbolizing what we owe the land.

Seasons of Magic - Hoh Rainforest Olympic National Park, WA

The Hoh Rainforest in northwest Washington, the most lush and wettest spot in the contiguous 48 states, is one of nature's wonders. The only temperate coniferous rainforest in the world, it's a beauty to behold.
There is not a tree, dead or alive, that doesn't host life. Mosses cover the tree trunks and you wonder what is lurking inside ... look just so you might see sprites dancing in the sunlight. Olympic National Park's Hoh Rainforest is that kind of place.

Weathered roots - Sitka Spruce tree Hoh Rain Forest Olympic National Park, WA

The Sitka spruce grows up to 225 feet in height and to eight feet in diameter, and it can live to be 700 years old. Once, the raw materials from these giant trees provided the basis for nearly everything that Native American Indians used. They devised a technique for weaving baskets and hats from materials harvested from Sitka spruce roots and acheived fame for these finely twined baskets decorated with dyed grass applied in a technique termed "false embroidery." And Northwest Coast men are renowned for their tradition of wood carving and painting. They carved everything in wood from the roots of the Sitka spruce tree, from monumental totem poles and canoes, to delicate face masks.

Paradise to lovers of big trees - Olympic National Park, WA

To most earthlings a "tall" tree is 75 to 100 ft. Thousands of Douglas firs on the Olympic Peninsula don't even branch that near to the ground! Presently, the tallest tree known in the whole Northwest is a 326 ft fir.
Olympic National Park and Forest on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington State (the Evergreen State) truly is the land of the giants. Unless you see them in person and stand next to one of these mammoth trees, it's hard to imagine trees this huge. Standing next to a tree that is 159 feet tall with a circumference of 63 feet is truly a humbling experience.

Most big trees in Olympic National Park and Forest on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington State (the Evergreen State) stand in quiet solitude, sunlight glinting on their trunks, the scent of pines pervading the air - no other emphasis in the forest. Hikers and wildlife alone are affected by their presence. However, the centuries old big red cedar tree in this photograph has endured decades of tourists scratching its reddish bark, trampling its roots, and staring at its ponderous bulk.
