Oregon Trip Day 2 & 3

Providence Park
6/16 Edited to

... Read moreTraveling along the Oregon coast during days 2 and 3 of our trip offered an incredible chance to connect with nature's diverse marine environments firsthand. Exploring the rocky reefs revealed a rich underwater world teeming with sea urchins, anemones, and various tide pool creatures. These vibrant ecosystems highlight the delicate balance maintained in coastal habitats, reminding me of the importance of preserving such areas. Encountering the sharp coastal thorns while hiking underscored the rugged beauty and challenges of Oregon's shoreline. It’s essential to wear protective clothing and sturdy footwear while venturing through these terrains. The ocean life visible from the shore and through snorkeling excursions included starfish, crabs, and colorful fish species, providing unforgettable wildlife encounters. Documenting these experiences in a daily vlog added a creative layer to the trip, allowing for reflection and sharing with others passionate about marine environments and coastal adventures. For anyone planning a similar trip, consider packing gear suitable for tide pooling and shore hiking, and allocate time to fully appreciate the interconnectedness of ocean life and coastal flora. The Oregon coast truly offers a rewarding blend of adventure, education, and natural beauty.

I spent 10 days roadtripping the states of Oregon and parts of Washington . Of those, we spent a couple of days driving the Oregon Coast, and honestly, it’s one of the most , if not the best, scenic drives in the U.S. I had this on my bucket list for many years and I cant wait to go back.
