Cooks Chasm — Attraction in Oregon

This is a natural land feature that when you have high tide and storms the water is funneled through the chasm with extreme force and crashes into the hillside under the bridge. With all of the numerous holes and cracks in the rock it sometimes causes the water to come out of them with such force it causes Spouts (something that looks like a geyser) that shoot water high into the air. There are turnouts and viewing areas on both sides of the bridge that was built back in 1931. You have Spouting Horn (just below the bridge), Thors Well (a feature that looks like it is draining the ocean) and Cape Perpetua to the North of the bridge. The beaches and rocky outcrops can be a dangerous place so always be aware of your surroundings, sneaker waves, tides and storms so you don't get caught in a situation where you need rescuing. There are numerous trails for the adventurous and just to the south is Heceta Head Lighthouse and the Sea Lion Caves. As always leave it better than you found it...

Wow, what a gorgeous place! I love mesmerizing encounters with moving water, and this is the place to get quite a few different styles! Thor's Well was pretty neat, though I'd recommend not going when the tide is quite so high. Spouting Horn was pretty neat as well, and we watched for at least 45 minutes! Down the path and around the corner, there's some squared-out areas where the waves get caught and spray! Definitely worth the watch if you're...

So much to see and do, greatly recommended to being sturdy footwear that can go in the water cause the hike up the chasm is just too incredible to pass if you have the chance. TAKE YOU'RE TIME climbing and exploring, you can go off the main paths and really look around but the walking surfaces can be really dang sketchy depending...
