Cascade Head Lower Viewpoint & Salmon River Delta

avatar
@chadtorkelsen
An incredible viewpoint on the Oregon Coast—hear the seabirds circling above you and the breaking waves below. Take in the Salmon River, ocean views, and watch over the seemingly endless coastline stretching south. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

This photo was taken from Cascade Head Lower Viewpoint with a drone, giving you epic views of the Salmon River and coastline. To get there by car, take US-101 S towards Nature Conservancy Cascade Head Preserve - Upper Trailhead (45.063760, -123.979125). You can park there. Then, follow the trail ahead for 2 miles (1000 ft elevation gain) to reach the headland. You will then see a bluff overlooking the Salmon River Delta and costline. I flew my drone southward from here.
