Cape Sebastian State Park, Gold Beach, Oregon

Coastal cliffs and forested ridgeline along Cape Sebastian, with a rocky island offshore

Here's a quickie! This was a beautiful hike that I took with Teddy after I gave him a bath at the "self dog wash" place down in Gold Beach - which is about 30 minutes south of here. It's an approximately 2.5 miles out and back trail with an elevation gain of about 700 feet. It's a moderate climb and it wasn't busy - I only ran into a 1/2 dozen people - but that could be that the parking lot could only hold 5 cars. lol.

According to the Oregon State Park website the cape was named in honor of Saint Sebastian in 1603 by the Spanish navigator Sebastian Vizcaino.

Teddy has some weird genetic hair issues going on. He's gone from short hair to long hair to a full mane to no mane, with plenty of iterations in between—and it doesn't depend on the season!

He's always happy to answer any questions too! You can email us at hillary@mybuzzabout.com but I'll respond for him as he hasn't gotten the knack of typing yet. WOOF!
