10.1 miles of hiking • 250' elevation gain •
We decided on a whim to get away from the heat expected in the Portland area. We were lucky to get the kennel for our dog and my wife found a very inexpensive, but very clean, place to stay in Rockaway Beach! We've never been there before but were pleasantly surprised by the lack of crowds. That being said, there were still plenty of people, but we found ourselves alone on the beach many times during the hike. The highlight of the hike was the Twin Rocks area. I also enjoyed hiking out towards the end of the dike at the southern end of this beach. As expected, the temperature was very comfortable and the wind helped cool things down even further!
