South Aerial Guide Overview - Tour Three
The Cape Perpetua Scenic Area

The Cape Perpetua Visitor Center provides a resource center for exploring the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and its associated 26 miles of hiking trails. The Visitor Center features interpretive displays covering both the wilderness and the natural history aspects of the park as well as providing public restrooms and visitor parking. Also, the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center offers guided interpretive hikes, educational films and a gift store. The Hiking Trails of Cape Perpetua afford the opportunity for the visitor to explore marine gardens, Native American Shell Middens, the Devils Churn, the Spouting Horn at Cook’s Chasm, the Cape Perpetua Overlook, plus protected old-growth forests over the park’s 2,700 acres. One popular trail is the Giant Spruce Trail starting from the Visitor Center. The trail heads along Cape Creek and then through a natural setting of evergreen trees and lush ferns, finally ending at an ancient Sitka Spruce Tree. The Tide Pools of Cape Perpetua are another popular attraction featuring intriguing plants and animals thriving within the rocky intertidal zone. At the south end of the park is the Cook’s Chasm, another crevice formed into the basalt coastline. Along the shoreline of the Cook’s Chasm Area are an undersea cavern and a spouting horn. The geyser-like display of water shooting high in the air is a popular attraction during stormy conditions. The Cook’s Chasm Turnout is a stopping point along Highway 101 built for exploring the Cook’s Chasm Bridge replaced in 2003 as well as taking in the water action around Cook’s Chasm and its Spouting Horn.
