Spent the morning hiking Hug Point and Cape Falcon. Beautiful day at the Oregon coast currently. Sunny and warm. Lots of my hiking today was along the Oregon Coast Trail. I got tired of the mud so I road walked 101 back to my car to make it a loop. No regrets.

@andrewbriscoe Was it just usual spring mud at Cape Falcon, or something we should get a trail crew out to address? Any logs or major brush that need clearing? I’m a volunteer with a working group at Trailkeepers of Oregon that supports the Oregon Coast Trail.

@TrailTurtle Probably just the normal mud, I’ve never hiked the section before. I only had to duck under one tree. I hiked from where the OCT crosses 101 on the north end of the headland to the Short Sand Beach trailhead. The north side is a bit overgrown, but nothing major. Thank you for working on the trails, much respect! I really need to use my volunteer days off of work this year.

@andrewbriscoe Beautiful! Yeah I’d have done the same way back lol

@von I don’t mind the mud too much but the highway was better than dealing with the same muddy sections.

@andrewbriscoe Totally!

@andrewbriscoe wow - amazing!

@andrewbriscoe as always gorgeous pictures

If you got a parking spot at Hug Point, on a weekend, when it's still spring break for some states, AND it's whale migration traffic too, that's a true, bonfide, genuine miracle. It's so pretty here at the coast, glad you paid a visit.

@CoastalCoasting Well I parked at Arcadia as the sun came up and was the first person there. The Hug Point parking area is closed and blocked off currently. I got a state park pass so I hope to visit more. It is very pretty here!

@andrewbriscoe I use the video of the Oregon coast as my macOS screensaver. It’s quite like the first of your pictures, but from a different angle.

@ianRobinson I’ll have to check that out! Do you know if it’s one of the Apple TV screen savers as well? I love quite a few of those.

@andrewbriscoe Yes. I’m not at my Mac to look up the name. But I’ll take look shortly.

@andrewbriscoe It's called Oregon Sunset, and it's in the Landscape Section on Mac.
