TAKE A TRIP
ALONG THE OREGON COAST USA

The Pacific ocean facing west along the Oregon coast where long beaches, huge sand dunes and rocky cliffs make up the landscape. The Coastal Mountain Range runs north to south and into California with the beach area only a few miles inland to the mountains and in some areas the mountains reach the sea. This mountain range sits between the sea and most of the rest of the USA. Scenic highway 101 runs along the coast from Canada to Mexico and is the only highway.
