The trail map for the Samual Boardman says ‘Craggy bluffs, secluded beaches and off shore rock formations await visitors along the 18 ocean-hugging miles.’ It is many view points, trails, and beaches. It was pounding rain and howling wind. We decided to hike Thunder Rock cove and Secret Beach trail.
John on the way down. Wridge Creek flowing under the bridge.
The rain stopped as we arrived at Secret Beach. Chiming bells, flowers in the campground, a mushroom and shamrocks.
The sun came out! What a nice surprise. It was predicted to be 100% chance of rain and cloudy. Secret Beach wave TV.
Sword fern, mushroom, maidenhair fern and bracket fern. Big spray at Secret Beach.
Very mossy. Everything was green. Wridge Creek falls entering the ocean.
The trail with sunshine. Ferns growing on a tree, mushrooms, lung wort and lichen hanging from the pine trees.
John in the moss and on the point by Natural Bridges.
False lily of the valley red berry, contorted trees , lichen and moss growing under the pine branches. Natural Bridge is on the left of this rock out of the photo.
We were hiking in an old growth spruce forest. Some of the trees were huge. 2 of the 7 arches and blow holes known as Natural Bridges.
Blue hedge flowers, red berries, sword fern and the post for the Oregon Coast Trail, with of course moss on it. The picnic area at Lone Ranch Beach.
Lone Ranch Beach. John popped out of all this greenery like a leprechaun.
Sunset back at camp.
