Cape Perpetua Scenic Are - The Hiking Trails of Cape Perpetua

The Cape Perpetua Visitor Center provides a valuable resource center for exploring the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and its associated 26 miles of hiking trails interconnecting as one hiking trail system. The Visitor Center features interpretive displays covering both the wilderness and the natural history aspects of the park. The Center serves as a central hub connecting to the individual trails heading out to the old growth forests and flowing creek beds found within the park’s 2,700 acres. Also, the Center connects to the other trails traversing westward out to the rocky shorelines fronting the park. On the ocean side of the park, the trail system leads to several Points of Interest including the Devil’s Churn, the Cape Cove and Good Fortune Cove Beach Areas, the Tide Pools of Cape Perpetua and Cook’s Chasm. The Devil’s Churn is a crack found in the volcanic rocks worn away over time by the constant onslaught of the ocean. During turbulent tidal conditions, the wave action around the Devil’s Churn is awesome with waves being thrown against the rocks and ocean spray being hurled upwards in the air. At the south end of the park is Cook’s Chasm, another crevice formed into the basalt headland. 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 located near the Cook’s Chasm Bridge recently redone in 2003 and offers view points of the Spouting Horn and the newly constructed bridge. Highway 101 continues southward past Captain Cook Point and then crosses over the Lincoln/Lane County line.
