Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, OR

"But mom, I don't WANNA take a hike! Oh. my. God. No HIKE. PLEEEeeaaaassse!"
And so began our short visit to Ecola State Park. Catslop Loop is about 3 miles round trip: half uphill, half back down. On the way up, oh, the moaning. Oh, the groaning. Oh, the forest!
Our hard slog uphill was rewarded, though, at the overlook on Tillamook Head.
Yeah, okay, so it was a bit cloudy. What do you expect for the END OF JULY? I did manage to get a few view shots on the way down.

And the boys came out of it relatively unscathed. Success!
