This photo was taken on Foss Road, a road that stretches alongside the Nehalem River in between Oregon Route 53 and US-26. The entire drive is gorgeous, but the GPS coordinates provided reference a particular stretch of road that is especially beautiful. To get here, drive along Foss Road until you reach the point referenced in the GPS coordinates. Find a spot to pull over and park safely along the road. I faced looking eastward along the road, towards an area where the road visibly curves.
