Can you go in the Heceta Head Lighthouse? Oregon Coast

[@nofear2trek]

You are really highlighting the beautiful stops while traveling Hwy 101 thru coastal Oregon. I hope everyone appreciates the lack of vandalism or graffiti too.

[@jesscarey7666]

Fantastic views!! Thanks Russ for taking us along!

[@theoccidentaltraveler]

Heceta Head Lighthouse is also a B&B. The caretakers home has several rooms.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Wow! What beautiful views from the top. Love lighthouses and the history. The bridge is excellent also, glad to see it being taken care of. Thanks. 😊👍👍

[@stevejensen3471]

Nice run Russ! Btw, the lighthouse itself isn't haunted but the B&B reportedly is. The B&B is wonderful with beautiful views of the ocean from each of the rooms and you can take a nighttime stroll up to the lighthouse and watch it cast its beam out to sea for 21 miles! The lighthouse was restored back in 2014 and is kept up by staff and volunteers. A truly amazing place.

[@kathybyerly7904]

My goodness I need someone to go with.

[@judyabernathy80]

That was incredible! I always envision the people who lived there long ago. I love the history of these old places. You do great work, Russ!!

[@RVGrannyWA]

The stone walls were one of the things built during the Great Depression by the WPA. My husband's dad worked for them.

[@MaxZomboni]

PNW Granny WPA was a great program, but these walls were actually build by ODOT about three years ago. Before that the highway just had guardrails.

[@RVGrannyWA]

@@MaxZomboni Thanks, Max. I guess I was assuming that they were so similar to the stone walls we see here in my state of Washington that the origin was the same. The ones in Mt. Rainier Park were originally part of that program although sections have had to be replaced from time to time. Interesting.

[@MaxZomboni]

PNW Granny They did a good job on the walls. That could been their inspiration.

[@j-marie4006]

All your videos have been fantastic so far! Thanks for taking us along! We all need tee-shirts!

[@gavanhillebold3131]

Cool 😎 stuff, googled the lighthouse and it’s a working lighthouse open daily from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm, built in 1894 and shines a beam 24 miles making it the strongest on the Oregon coast. Thanks for sharing, great find !!

[@chrisr6157]

That was a beautiful find! The ocean view with the lighthouse was stunning! Thank you for hiking up there to show us the view! Safe travels!

[@martyrose]

Hey Russ! This kinda confirms it! Think I need to move to Oregon! The coast is amazingly well preserved. Breathtaking!. Love it! You spoil us! Thanks for letting us ride along!🌞

[@minervagaeza8938]

Very nice, I'm a new subscriber and I can't get enough of your videos, I feel like I'm in the passenger seat and walking right next to you , the filming is so good, you have the best job in the world, safe travels and I'll hit the bell so I don't miss any new videos.

[@RonInAVan]

Russ Linda and I have been coming to the Oregon Coast for the past 5 years and love it so much, well we came up this year to look for property to buy. Bookings was where wanted to buy but way out of our price range. We did find a lot in Cave Junction that was in our price range, we are going to make a offer on it tomorrow.

[@bonnieclyne5618]

Gorgeous! Love the lighthouse too! Oregon is truly a beautiful state! Thanks for sharing the beauty with us. Greetings from central Florida. Have an awesome day.

[@tazmod7272]

Russ, thanks for the video on the lighthouse. Really enjoying your videos. Like I am there. Haven’t been to the lighthouse. My legs won’t let me. I had worked in the coast range forests from Triangle Lake to south of Bandon. Hiked(crawled) thru the brush (Oregon grape, Salmonberry, vine maple, devil’s club, thimbleberry, Salal , etc.). We would revve up our motorcycles when going thru the tunnel. Sea Lion caves is stinky. 101 can have slide problems.

[@johnpurdum8126]

That's too bad about the Sea Lion caves being closed. Beautiful trip so far. I hope to do this again some time in the future. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@kathybyerly7904]

Sea lion caves are awesome. Been 2x I'll go again.

[@sablerubycocoa]

The Oregon coast is stunning!!!

[@Resounded]

Hi Russ ! That was Cool ! quite a walk up hill ! Looks like those trees had burned years ago. Beautiful area.. Do you miss the desert yet ? Do you miss the 105 degree days ? Ha ! In a few weeks we will be up north in Nevada all along the Sierra Highway 395 and cool weather. Stay Healthy and Happy.. Talk soon !

[@tudeflaming4355]

Hi Russ. Thanks for these vids. Hey as you are heading to Yachats, try to drive to to top of Cape Perpetua. The short walk to the stone hut outlook is priceless. 800 feet above the ocean

[@nickmiller9238]

The 2019 Rver there yet tour...is awesome....thx Russ for taking us along 👍👍👍

[@j.philiplarson2064]

One of my favorite places to photograph!! Nice video!

[@MaxZomboni]

Beautiful view but the $5 parking fee is ridiculous. The next time you visit Oregon, you should look into getting a day-use parking permit from the Oregon State Parks or from the Forest Service. It would probably save you money over paying $5 each time.

[@Ziffel22]

I agree but one can purchase a 12 month day use parking permit for $30.00 or a 24 month pass for $50.00 from the Oregon State Parks also the one day $5.00 pass is good at multiple parks as long as you use it the same day purchased.

[@MaxZomboni]

Ziffel22 The Forest Service also offers an Oregon Pacific Coast 5-day passport, 15 state and federal fee sites for $10. I'm sure he would have saved money with that. You break even the second time you park.

[@juliehawkins3907]

Every time I watch this it just takes my breath away!

[@raym909]

i have been watching along with Google Earth to see where you are. The lighthouse area was great. when i was a little kid, we went up that way, i don't think it has changed in 50 years.

[@adrianmetzler2523]

Thanx for visiting our state, come back any time! My brother and I, and fam always go to the lighthouse, we especially love to watch the huge waves break bottom left of the light house is a cool spot. Stormy high tide is the best!

[@lesselp]

Liking your style, matches the area and mood pretty well.

[@sheridanrose9880]

Great video! I live in Florence. Ive had this very drive and view a 100 times at least. Incredible. Lots of trails view points. Camp Perpetual is high with great views. Thanks for sharing. I think a drive is in order this weekend. 😎

[@billmoore7133]

That first pullout past the Sealion caves was one you didn't want to miss great view of the lighthouse, and the rocks at the base of the cliffs are covered with barking Sealions.

[@kathybyerly7904]

Love sea ion cave. The hiking up to lighthouse is green n beautiful. Id love to go again.

[@vecherd]

I am really enjoying your Oregon Coast trip you did 3 yrs ago! I have been to many of the places as I am from OR and as family we spent time on the coast but there are many I haven't visited And this lighthouse I have only seen from afar! Thanks

[@opalanuitchoutte3038]

The lighthouse does do guided tours. The Lighthouse keepers house is a B&B.... that's why there's another road, for guest and workers

[@wasmi655]

Cool

[@GaryPClark]

Helluva walk!!

[@sandman9043]

I would eat at the Chalet in Newport very good food

[@tomthatcher7757]

Beautiful coastline!!

[@rvertv]

It really is!

[@jimfenich5876]

What a ride Russ,. Please drive safe.

[@ann40069]

I Love This Drive....one of my all time Favorites...Wasn't the lighthouse open??? When I went to Heceta the gift shop was open and so was the lighthouse..

[@cornerstone403]

I have a friend who lives in Salem. Everytime I share one of these videos with her, she says she has camped there before, or visited there before.

[@juliehawkins3907]

Definite bucket list 👍

[@malvinc473]

My wife is writting a book on this lighthouse we hope to come out to see it someday soon looks nice

[@genekied]

Has to be my favorite stretch of 101.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Beautifull!

[@oddopops1327]

👋😊

[@juliehawkins3907]

I wish I was there!

[@vidguy007]

What am I going to watch with my coffee first thing in the morning when this series ends?

[@tudeflaming4355]

Hopefully Russ drives all the way to Canada!

[@vidguy007]

Tude Flaming hopefully he takes the Alaska ferry from Bellingham then drives back

[@kaptainwarp]

The area is closed-off to drones so you have to hike past the gift shop to see the lighthouse.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

Did you pull into a handicap parking? Maybe you moved?

[@gsp49]

Bicycle legal on that trail?

[@shinynblue]

Opens at 11 every day, he must have been there before 11.

[@ericsandoval5392]

Been there

[@kathybyerly7904]

Jealous i love the coast.

[@EstherIsNotYoursHun]

Me : has jacob colvin vibes

[@nathanhook2065]

Terrible video in the nicest of ways. Feel like a troll saying it, but dang. Totally missed anything worth mentioning. Congrats on all the subscribers. 5th generation Oregonian though feeling disappointed 😔. Wish u many great adventures!(all of these light houses deserve a good story and u failed)
