I recently had the privilege of visiting Devil's Churn in Oregon, and I am absolutely in awe of this stunning natural wonder!
From the moment I set eyes on the rugged coastline and heard the crashing waves, I was captivated by the beauty of this place. The Devil's Churn is a unique formation, a narrow inlet carved into the rocky shoreline, where the mighty Pacific Ocean meets the land in a spectacular display of nature's power.
The sight and sound of the waves crashing against the rocks in Devil's Churn is nothing short of mesmerizing. It's a mesmerizing, almost hypnotic experience that leaves you feeling humbled by the forces of nature. I couldn't help but stand there for hours, simply taking it all in.

Over the years the crack has expanded from the years of Mother Nature's forces eroding it into what you see today. The force at which the water is forced through the hole that has been created in the rocks lining this chasm is dictated by the ocean tides and the storms. Get upclose and personal with nature but be aware of your surroundings. The rocks are quite slick, especially when they're wet. Unexpected sneaker waves can knock you off your feet and watch out for the tide change. As always leave it better than you found it...
