Driving Through the Lava Fields of Newberry Crater

It’s pretty amazing where they bulldozed roads in around Newberry Crater.  Even across these lava fields.

Keep on trucking across the fields of lava!

Some of the roads we tried going down were closed due to fallen trees.  Much of this area doesn’t see traffic very often.

As it started getting later in the day, we found a nice little campsite off of a side road that was off of another side road in the middle of the lava fields.

Heather with the truck right before we started to setup our camp for the night.

Munson Creek Falls

We hiked up to Munson Creek Falls through a lush coastal rainforest.

 

At 319 feet, this waterfall is the highest in the entire coast range.  The trail up to the base was closed off due to some storm damage so this is all we got to see of this epic waterfall.

A Sunny June Day in Oceanside

It was so nice and sunny that we couldn’t resist going out to Oceanside to enjoy the Oregon coast.

The tide was very low so we got to explore some new areas.

The sea stacks offshore.

We had lunch at a cute little cafe in Oceanside.

The ocean sure is beautiful.
