Flower picking, hunting, camping, fires, bicycles, and dogs are banned. No permits or fees are required. Hikers are strongly urged to stay on the trail at all times. The upper portion of the trail is closed altogether from July 16 to December 31. Then drive north one mile from the interchange, where highways 101 and 18 join.
Winter storms batter the headland.
Throughout summer, fog shrouds this coastal headland on most mornings. When the weather is really hot in Portland and Salem, the fog lingers longer and sometimes doesn't dissipate all day. But the view on a clear day is worth waiting for. Please make sure your children understand not to venture off marked trails. Search for stores that sell or rent gear near you.
