Oregon Coast Road Trip Highlights: 4 Days from Brookings, OR to Seattle, WA

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Wow! A photographer’s paradise!

[@rcole6679]

That’s an incredible amount of driving in four days on 101, as it can be slow traveling with RVs, trucks and all the little towns that you have to drive through. I can’t believe you saw all of the things you did, yet you missed so much and will need to go back and slow down, to enjoy the Coast at a slower pace. I can spend days in Yachats alone, just watching the waves crash in the rocks..absolutely spectacular!

[@BlueBalls5.0h]

This video got me on my feelings. Haha i was born in Oregon but now live in illinois. Everytime i go back to visit Oregon i get goosebumps because i love it soo much i believe my heart is in Oregon

[@lunerpheonix4933]

[@lunatraveler7007]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m disabled and find it difficult to reach some of these spots on the beach. Lovely to see from your viewpoint. Beautiful.

No problem, thank you for the comment!

And all this beauty is why I'm moving to Oregon!

What do you think of beautiful Oregon my home was born and raised here and I still got family here and lots of nephews and nieces oh yeah but the web did I mention that you construction I've been doing for all my life drywall I work for the family

Thanks for putting the names of all the locations, now this is how i'm planning my trip!

[@koenschrooten2782]

Having just come back from an Oregon road trip myself, I loved seeing this, and now know there's so much more to discover in that great state that we didn't even see. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with the world. I know where I'll be going back to!

[@californiathroughmylens]

No problem, I can't wait to go back as I missed so much on the first trip as well!

[@garyroach2000]

Driving down the coast of Oregon to the CA redwoods and back up to Crater Lake NP and the Columbia River Gorge was one of my favorite road trips.

[@petemotley535]

Thank you for repping the Oregon and Washington coast, I live in Portland Oregon, and we just LOVE our coast from Brookings to Astoria!!!

[@A2Z11tree]

My boyfriend is from Oregon (I’m Canadian) videos like this make me sooo excited to visit Oregon and eventually move there when he gets out of the army!

[@buck1946]

The smirk on your face as you stood next to the cow at the 2:51 mark was worth the whole video, well done.

[@evslone]

As a regular subscriber I am amazed at how your video and narrative skills have developed in the years since you created this video. Pretty quick dash up the coast but I am sure many viewers find it helpful and informative. Cheers.

[@hannabaal150]

That was the trip of a lifetime in four days. It's so beautiful in that corner of the world. Thanks for putting this video together. I saw that shipwreck on the beach at Fort Stevens/Astoria in 1958 when I was 5. It was a complete ship then, still plated with metal. I have watched it disappear over the years. I'm in better shape for the moment but it will probably outlast me! ; )

[@cleawox]

The Oregon Coast is the real deal. Some of my favorites as a local: Darlingtonia Wayside (carnivorous plants galore), The top of Cape Perpetua (dizzying view!), the top of dunes in the moonlight/Cleawox lake, digging gaper clams in Charleston, Sunset Bay/Shore Acres park hike, Antiquing in Wheeler, and walking and walking in Astoria (don't miss the Flavel house).

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I grew up in OR and WA so what you showed were some of my fav places too. That was one intensely packed 4 day road trip! Thanks for posting. You have given me a lot of good ideas for spots to visit when I’m up there visiting the family next time

[@margaretr.4427]

The Oregon Coast is absolutely stunning...a must see

[@francislee7041]

Thanks for sharing. The South Oregon Coast is the most beautiful coast in the west coast of US. Brookings OR is a very nice little town, I lived there for a short while.

[@deelute6399]

Too bad they didn't swing into world renown golf resort Bandon Dunes.

[@brianfpv1039]

Such vintage footage! Absolutely breathtaking.

[@C-TOS]

Beauty all around, especially the coastal spots!

[@stefank.9908]

I have now watched three videos + Oregon Coast Road Trip Highlights + 23 Things to Do in Downtown Los Angeles + San Francisco Day Trip from Southern California and I have to write this comment now. You are doing a great job! Great content, highlights of the cities, landscapes, trips, food tips and pictures. Everything neatly structured, in the video as well as in the comments. Perfect for researching my US trip. Keep up the good work!!! Best regards from Germany, Stefan a subscriber

Thank you for watching the videos and for the comment! Have fun on your US trip and let me know if you have any questions.

[@sissyrayself7508]

I live in Newport.. been here a year and a half. I hope I never have to leave. This is beyond a dream come true.

[@pooperdave]

I know exactly what you mean. We lived in Waldport for 4 years and now live in Newport for just over 2 years. It also is my dream come true. 👍🏻

[@Brennanpebbles]

You seriously saw nearly everything along the coast!! haha well done! I love it!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Wow - you sure captured the feeling of the Oregon Coast!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@utubejsuen]

I just came back from Oregon too. It had a storm when we arrive Newport but next day , it was clear and gorgeous.

[@OregonFamilyAdventures]

Great video! I've lived in Oregon for 3 years and haven't been north of Cape Blanco yet. Apparently I need to take a road trip up the coast soon. There's just so much to see in this state! 💚

[@Stevenowski]

My wife and I went up that Coast in April 2018. We took a lot longer than 4 days though, and saw a lot more than you depicted in your video. Rockaway Beach is a Hidden Gem.

[@Blackdoginsky]

Man you guys came right up by where I live and have grown up. This is cool

[@sanifordkate]

Thank you so much for your video it was very informative. I have never been to the West Coast and I’m planning a trip in May. I want to fly into Seattle Washington and camp my way down to San Francisco. I never realize how beautiful Oregon is.

[@Aswajar]

Love this! We took a road trip down the oregon coast once summer then last summer we did California coast. I always intend to stop and take more pictures, but I get really car sick so all i want to do is just sleep!.. and at the end I always regret not being able to capture these breathtaking shots!

[@keithmorrison9372]

I live in Oregon an hour from the beach. Ive seen most of what you videoed. Living here it's so easy to take what is basically my back yard for granite. One place I highly recommend that you drove past is the Hobbit trail. It's near sea lion caves. It's a very cool hiking trail that leads to a beach only accessible from this trail

[@WANDERLUSTERMOM]

Wow! You must drive fast. I did a trip from the Bay Area to Seattle Washington via I5 and did some stops along the way. But it took me 14 days. Even with that I felt rushed. I purposely didn’t do the Coast because of time constraints. Btw, I love your channel. I’ve read your blogs too in the past. It’s good that you’re on KZbin as well.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Ya, we were for sure rushed since we were seeing so much. I would recommend just picking the main things you want to see from each day and fitting other things in as needed.

Did you have to book any lodging or just stay anywhere. I want to do this same trip!

[@hannabaal150]

Yes, book ahead on the coast. You may find someplace but there are a lot of people there in the summer, which is when it's best. If you like dramatic vista views of the ocean, at Thor's Well you can drive to the top of Cape Perpetua (800 feet) for 150 miles of coastline...on a clear day. The fog hangs on the coast and it's there most of the time. Good Luck!

[@Simplelife_seeker]

Amazing! I'm planning on taking a trip up to Seattle this fall and will use your itinerary as my guide. Looks beautiful! Would you recommend one purchase the Oregon State Parks day use pass? Looks like it's $30-$50 for a full year. I'll be using your itinerary this fall when I head up north from Eureka to Seattle; will only be in Oregon for a week max - but it may save some money on parking?! Also loved your itinerary on your site - very helpful for my planning!

[@californiathroughmylens]

I didn't end up buying a pass because a lot of the spots didn't have pay stations but it does depend on what you want to go to. Glad the site was helpful!

[@spondoolie6450]

I'm going up to Portland and Seattle (early March 2019)...... should I take Interstate 5 or HWY 101? (if time is not a concern).

[@rcole6679]

For time, take 5. For a spectacular trip of scenery, drive 101 all the way. It’s much slower, but the scenery is awesome. Lots of little places to stop and shop. A few good restaurants too. Yachats/Cape Perpetua is some of the most scenic areas you‘ll encounter. You can drive right through Coos Bay...not as scenic and fairly down trodden. But, if you take the roads along the coast, it’ll be worth it. See the Sea Lion Caves near Florence. Smells bad, but very interesting, nonetheless. Gotta stop at the Tillamook Creamery for an ice cream and short tour of cheese making. The sea stacks in Bandon are spectacular and when the tide is out, you can walk around them. Go at sunset for one of the most awesome sunsets you’ll ever see!

[@1goldie51]
