AYM: Neahkahnie Mountain

Activity Notes

Join us for this rigorous hill hike. The steep trail climbs through hemlock forest to views from one of the high points on the Oregon Coast. We will cross a hanging bridge, climb stairs, ascend, see any views overlooking Manzanita, and perhaps stop at the state park beach before returning to the Short Sands parking lot. The forecast is cool, with a high of 69 and low in the 40s. Bring at least 2 liters of water and snacks/lunch, a first aid kit, thin hat, a shell jacket, and layers for cool weather - poles optional but recommended. Be prepared to drive, and bring $15 for driving payment, $3 trip fee, and a state parking pass if you have one. Meet at the northwest corner of Sunset Transit Center 7:00 am fo 7:15 departure. 8 miles, 1,631 feet of elevation gain.
