Review:
Tillamook Head is an awe-inspiring promontory that overlooks Oregon's Pacific coast just 5 miles outside the town of Seaside. Situated within Ecola State Park, the rock formation ascends more than 1,000 feet above the water and is covered in Sitka spruce trees. In 1806, the Corps of Discovery crossed the head on a trip to purchase whale blubber from a local Native American tribe.
Captain Clark said of the ocean and island view from Tillamook, “I behold the grandest and most pleasing prospect which my eyes ever surveyed." Hiking trails of varying lengths run through the park at Tillamook Head and the bluff is accessible by foot from Indian Beach.
