Dad and Katie ran 4 miles with me on the Cascade Head trail. We started running down a very steep road for the first mile until we reached the trail head. From there we ran through the beautiful temperate rainforest (above) to the view point. We were able to see both the estuary and the ocean. After a quick break at the view point, we began our descent back to the trail head. When we reached the trail head, we were faced with the hills we had just run down two miles before. The climb was painful, but you felt a strong sense of acheivement when you reached the van.
The scenery was awesome, but the hill was steeper than it looked and the following week I could barely move.
The view was even more amazing without the thick fog. It amazed me that there was an ocean there, let alone one that beautiful.
- Hannah: You can hear the ocean!
- Katie: No, that's my breathing!
- Dad: [This road] can't go down forever!
- (Famous last words. The road went downhill all the way, making a not so fun climb back to the van)
