It’s still over a month until Halloween but my kids are already obsessed with ghosts, skeletons, and other creepy things. My house sounds like a haunted house from morning until dusk.
This inspired me to finally plan a trip to a place that has been on my bucket list for a while: the Neskowin Ghost Forest.
At low tide, the stumps of old trees are visible. The Neskowin Ghost Forest is the remnants of a Sitka spruce forest on the Oregon Coast. The stumps were likely created when an earthquake of the Cascadia subduction zone abruptly lowered the trees, that were then covered by mud from landslides or debris from a tsunami. Many of the stumps are over 2,000 years old.
Note: I followed google maps and the directions said to turn on Beach lane. That road is now gated and privatized for a new housing development. The only way to access the ghost forest now is to park at the public beach entrance and Wade across the bay.
Definitely worth a visit! The boys discovered crabs, starfish, and other tide pool treasures on the south side of the beach and climbed proposal rock.
