I've been to Oregon a few times and believe it's one of the most beautiful places on Earth. These are a few photos from a vacation in 2006, all from along Highway 101.
Boardman State Park
sand dunes
Dunes extend from Coos Bay north to Florence. In places, the dunes extend inland as much as 2 1/2 miles. Some are as high as 500 feet. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area was set aside in 1972. It encompassed 32,186 acres of dunes, forest, streams, and lakes.
We rented a dune buggy and had a blast!
I wish I knew exactly where some of these were taken. If you do know, please tell me!
