THE OREGON COAST 2022

In August of 2022, we drove up north to the Pacific Northwest. We first stopped by San Francisco for some lunch and a hike to a viewpoint overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Hawk Hill is a dog friendly area and the views of the Bay were just epic.

We continued further north into the heart of Northern California and had dinner at the famous Yaks on the 5, a restaurant famous for it’s burgers. We then check in at our hotel and rested for the night.

The following morning, we drove north and stopped by the city of Eugene, Oregon. Eugene is actually the inspiration for the town of Springfield in the historic animated series of the Simpsons. There are a few murals up around the town and we stopped by a view point before making our way to the place we would stay for the next 2 nights; Astoria, Oregon.

In Astoria, we stayed at the beautiful Bowline Hotel. This hotel sits right on the waterfront along the massive Columbia River. I opted to upgrade our room to a deluxe suit with a view of the water and I must say it was well worth it.
