Cape Perpetua
Scenic Area |
The 2700-acre wonderland
in the Siuslaw National Forest has awe-inspiring views, crashing surf,
tide pools, old-growth forest, and 26 miles of interconnected looping
trails. There is a visitor center with RV parking, exhibits, gifts and
a theater. Recreation pass required for all areas. (The two RV Gypsies
have a senior pass to get in all National Parks, and that saves them a
lot of money). |

| Cape Perpetua was a 2,000+ acre source of fish and game for early Native Americans, home to European settlers, and a military outpost. | |

TIDE POOLS |
|
 |
 |
| Twice a day, as tides pulse over craggy rocks, life in the tidepools adjusts to new conditions. Plants and animals are pounded by the surf, submerged in saltwater, or exposed to drying sun and wind. It seems like a harsh place to live! Yet, the intertidal life zones are among the most biologically diverse areas in the world. | |
