AYM: Ecola State Park (dog friendly)

Activity Notes

Let's spend the day enjoying Ecola State Park hiking a lollipop loop from Ecola Point to Tillamook Head Hiker's Camp. It's the perfect hike for the winter to enjoy old growth forest and ocean views, including spotting "Terrible Tilly" from the trail.  We will meet at Ecola Point Day Use Area at 9:00 AM. You can use an OR State Park Pass or pay the day fee (~$5) This hike is featured in Matt Reeder's PDX Hiking 365 will be around 6 miles roundtrip with 1200 feet of elevation gain ( https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=main.loadFile&load=_siteFiles%2Fpublications%2F%2F49141_Ecola_14x8.5_20_final043637.pdf ).  Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the hike (max. 5 dogs). Please indicate upon signing up if you plan to bring your dog with you by emailing  aym@mazamas.org . Any participant who attempts to bring a dog who does not indicate to us by email that they will be bringing a dog will not be permitted on the hike.  Post-hike celebrations may include enjoying the beach or heading into Cannon Beach for some food at Public Coast Brewing (or both)!!
