Cape Lookout State Park

A frosty morning excursion this past weekend, through the western hills of Oregon, brought John and me to a beautiful coastal park known as Cape Lookout State Park.  Within ten minutes of driving away from Portland, the land flattened out into rural countryside.  Thirty minutes into our journey the road was surrounded by large groves of Douglas fir trees.  This was our second adventure to the Pacific coast, the first time we visited Canon beach, which is located north of where we were.  We didn't stay too long in the park because our primary focus for the day trip was to check out the Tillamook Cheese Factory.  I'll post photos of the factory next week.  

Here are some photos from the amazing beach at Cape Lookout State Park.
