The dual purposes are appropriate, according to Debbie Savage. “I just encourage people to explore what’s in your own backyard that people travel from around the world to see,” said Savage, acting chief of interpretation for Redwood National and State Parks.

GO BANDON D

iscover the northernmost city along the Wild Rivers Coast, named “the coolest small city” by Budget Travel a few years ago. It’s easy to see why.

Bandon offers an array of possibilities, from plein air spots where artists can capture scenic moments along the docks to the interactive nonprofit Washed Ashore! where visitors learn about recycling and plastic pollution in the ocean. The nearby Coquille River Lighthouse takes visitors back to the seafaring days of old. Don’t miss these highlights: Cranberry Sweets and More You’ll get bogged down in this unique store where the fruits of the local cranberry harvest — more than 100 growers grow the fruit on 1,600 acres — are dipped in smooth chocolate, baked in decadent bars, or otherwise prepared in caramels, cookies, jellies and fudge. Free samples are available! The flagship store is a must-see for visitors and locals seeking gift baskets of lotion, jam and other goodies. The delicious taffies and brittle toffees could well lure them there. The store is located in Old Town Bandon, 280 First St. Coquille River Lighthouse Cross the bridge north of Bandon,

make a left into Bullards State Park and drive along the north bank of the Coquille River to reach this historic lighthouse. The five-year project to build “The Light” ended in 1895; the octagonal brick and stucco building now houses the maps and equipment that were needed to run the facility back in the day. Docents there are so intimately involved with the lighthouse, it’s as if they had operated the light itself 100 years ago. Face Rock Creamery Visitors for years had been asking the whereabouts of the old creamery, but it is long gone. But Daniel Graham saw the potential of reopening one, and Face Rock Creamery returned just last year, offering not just cheeses handcrafted before your eyes, but wines, sandwiches and a helpful, knowledgeable staff to share in the experience. Free samples, too! The creamery is located at 680 Second St.

HIDDEN GEMS ❖ Bullards Cemetery - Pay your

respects. Within the borders of Bullards State Park is an area featuring 14 gravesites of three founding families. Take Highway 101 north from Bandon to the Bullards State Park entrance, take the first right into the campsite and follow it to a loop on the right. There are two trails; the short jaunt to the cemetery is to the left of the tsunami trail. ❖ Face Rock - Relive coastal tribal lore at Face Rock, where, long ago, coastal tribal elders warned the inland Siskiyous to avoid the water because of the evil creature Seatka, who was particularly fond of young maidens. But Ewauna, who was enchanted by her first view of the ocean, happily ran into the ocean to frolic under the full moon. She was captured, of course, and in the morning the tribe members awoke to find her face petrified in stone, languorously floating on the ocean, gazing north where the moon had set. Her rising face can be seen from the parking lot at the wayside near Face Rock and Beach Loop drives south of town. ❖ Tony’s Crab Shack - Hungry? At Tony’s Crab Shack, seafood cocktails, fresh and smoked seafood, live crab and lobster and clam chowder will fill the need. The dockside restaurant is in front of the picnic shelter on First Street, where diners can watch people try their hand at crabbing while enjoying lunch outside.

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

Known the world over as one of the premier golf resorts in the United States since its opening in 1999, Bandon Dunes offers an experience unlike any other. Beautiful coastal vistas are the backdrop for five courses designed with golf’s Scottish roots in mind. These courses are revered by golf experts around the world, with four of them garnering critical acclaim from the golfing elite. Pacific Dunes, Bandon Dunes, Old Macdonald, and Bandon Trails are all consistently rated among the best courses in the nation by top golf publications. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort’s courses offer stunning yet challenging coastal holes, steep and intimidating bunkers and expansive greens set along the gorgeous Southern Oregon coastline.

die service available (call in advance for a reservation). A Bandon Dunes golf getaway should be on every golf fanatic’s bucket list.

The course also roams through wetlands, over streams and into open coastal forests.

Cedar Bend Golf Course Cedar Bend is unique among coastal courses because it not only offers great golf on a tidy 9-hole course, it has 11 RV campsites, so it is easy to stay-andplay. Twice around the layout plays to 6,288 yards from the back tees and 5,231 from the front. Dual tees are available for 18-hole play. The nicely manicured course, owned by its club members, crosses Cedar Creek several times. It features fairly wide, flat fairways, an anomaly for most coastal valley courses. Manager Donna Compton said the course hosts several popular summertime tournaments. Among them are: The Tin Cup Tournament, the Stampede Tournament, and the annual Popeye and Olive Oil Tournament, a man and woman blind-draw event. Call for event dates and information. A driving range, putting green, pro shop and snack bar are among the amenities.

Salmon Run Located in the middle of Oregon’s “banana belt,” Brookings is home to Salmon Run, a championship, 18-hole golf course nestled in the hills 3 1/2 miles up the south bank of the Chetco River.

Salmon Run benefits from the “Chetco Effect,” which provides moderate weather year round, enabling golfers to hit the links just about any time of the year. “As far as Oregon goes, we’re probably the best weather year-round,” general manager Ed Murdock said. “It’s moderate enough that you can golf all year long. We do get big storms, but typically they’re here and then they’re gone. Then it is beautiful and you can play. In the summer, the fog stays in town, and it’s 75 and sunny at the course.” The course, close to some of the most pristine wilderness in the United States, sees frequent, non-human visitors including deer, ducks, geese and raccoons among others. The course draws its name from the spawning salmon that run the streams that meander through the course. Bear, cougar, elk and the occasional wild turkey have also been spotted on the course. The course hosts a number of

GO PORT ORFORD Y

ou could easily spend a day or two in the quaint communities of Port Orford and nearby Langlois during your trip along the Wild Rivers Coast. Nestled along Highway 101 about an hour north of the California border, Port Orford and Langlois offer a wealth of experiences for the outdoorsman, artisan, traveler and treasure-seeker. Fine dining, art galleries and several historical landmarks speckle the community and provide plenty of opportunities for those in search of unique experiences. Port Orford Art Galleries Be drawn in by the breathtaking art on display along Oregon Street. One can find everything from oil and acrylic paintings to driftwood art and fine sculptures at places such as the Hawthorne Gallery, the Freshwater Gallery and Dana’s Trading Post. Find one-of-a-kind paintings, jewelry, pottery and furniture in one of the nine galleries all located within walking distance of one another. Cape Blanco Lighthouse Follow the light to the westernmost lighthouse in the continental United States. Cape Blanco offers picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean. Open to tourists from April through October,

it’s the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on Oregon’s coast and has been in operation since 1870. For those who seek genuinely gorgeous photographic scenery, the Cape Blanco Lighthouse is a must-see. Directions: Head north from Port Orford along Oregon Street/Highway 101 about 4 miles and turn west onto Cape Blanco Road. Head down Cape Blanco Road for 5 miles to the coastline and the lighthouse. Port of Port Orford Picture a port without a harbor. The Port of Port Orford is one of only six “dolly docks” in the world, where vessels are lifted out of the water by two enormous cranes and then housed on custom made dollies. You would be hard pressed to find another place on earth where you can get such an up-close look at a fleet of fishing boats currently in use. Check out the boats in drydock, then stop in to Grif’s on the Dock, the local dock museum, gift shop and eatery. Directions: If you are coming from the south follow Highway 101 north, turn left on Washington Street and follow it down to the dock.

HIDDEN GEMS

❖ Battle Rock Park - Step into history at Battle Rock Park, home of the historic Battle Rock, where Captain William Tichenor and his men used the prominent sea stack to stave off waves of native combatants to eventually settle Port Orford. Directions: Approaching from the south on Highway 101, it’s on your left as soon as you get into town. ❖ Old City Jailhouse - Lock up a legend with a visit to the old city jail. Built in 1936, it is a monument to Port Orford’s past and has become a popular landmark. After its condemnation in 1965, nature has given the building an artistic touch, covering it with vines and vegetation. Directions: Driving north on Highway 101, turn right on Jefferson Street then left on 7th Street. The jailhouse will be on your left side. ❖ Hughes House - See a Victorian vision in Hughes House. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the home was built in 1898 as a Victorian-style ranch set alongside the Sixes River, near Cape Blanco Lighthouse. Tours are available April through October and offer a glimpse into what life was like more than 150 years ago. Directions: Head along Highway 101 toward Cape Blanco Road. Head west on Cape Blanco Road about 3 miles, then bear right toward Hughes House.

GO GOLD BEACH T ake the unique opportunity to enjoy wide, sandy beaches, the mighty Rogue River and rugged mountains all in one spot — Gold Beach. There are plenty of chances to hike, bike, fish, beachcomb, golf, shop, swim, surf, windsurf, camp, ride horses and take a jet boat trip.

Port of Gold Beach Enjoy an afternoon watching recreational fishing boats jockey for world-class salmon as the Rogue River passes under the shadow of the scenic Patterson Memorial Bridge before reaching the Pacific. The partially sunken Mary D. Hume, an ancient fishing vessel, points the way to the port’s commercial hub that includes businesses such as Jerry’s Rogue Jets, boat rentals, an ice cream shop and coffee house. Don’t forget to book a guided fishing trip or sign up for a ride on a vintage biplane at the nearby airport. Jerry’s Rogue River Museum features an extensive display of local history and a wildlife diorama.

Gold Beach Books & GoldRush Center Located in the heart of Gold Beach on Highway 101 is Gold Beach Books. Enjoy a tasty scone and a cup of coffee while perusing the 50,000 used and new books (free wi-fi is available). Across the street, the GoldRush Center boasts the largest art collection on the Southern Oregon Coast. Other businesses inside include a health spa, massage and yoga classes.

Buffington Memorial Park Play hide-and-seek and enjoy a barbecue. The popular park at 94255 Caughell St. is a perfect place to escape the chilly breeze and enjoy amenities such as covered and open picnic facilities, tennis courts, walking paths and a “Kid Castle” play structure.

HIDDEN GEMS ❖ Old Coast Highway - Take a short but sweet drive past lush fields, old growth forests and hidden beach access points on this single-lane predecessor to the current Highway 101. Head north out of town and take the first left, just north of the Patterson Memorial Bridge. ❖ The River Walk - Walk easy through ancient myrtlewood groves and across seven foot bridges. Drive seven miles up Jerry’s Flat Road to Huntley Park for an easy 2.2-mile walk. There is information about historic homesteads, and plenty of wildlife-watching opportunities. ❖ Indian Creek Cafe - Hang out with the locals enjoying large stacks of buttermilk pancakes swamped in maple syrup with a side of sausage and a cup of coffee. Directions: At the south end of the Patterson Memorial Bridge take Jerry’s Flat Road a quarter-mile to the restaurant. Open seven days a week from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m.

GO JET BOATS

E

xperience the very definition of America’s Wild Rivers Coast on jet boat tours of the Rogue and Klamath rivers.

Jerry’s Rogue Jets and Rogue River Mail Boats Embark on a Gold Beach-based jet boat tour on the mighty Rogue River — one of the original eight Wild Rivers designated in 1968 for federal protection — with Jerry’s Rogue Jets and Mail Boats. In the 1940s and ’50s, the original Rogue River boat tours traveled only 32 miles upriver to the town

of Agness. A lunch break at one the Agness lodges was routine; then the boat traveled downstream back to Gold Beach. In the mid-1960s the advent of Hydro-Jets enabled boatmen to test their nerves in the 20 mile wild section, which is filled with boiling white water rapids upstream from Agness. Jerry’s Rogue Jets has been in operation since 1958 and Rogue Mail

in tou era wi op all the Boats has been in operation since the 1930s. The two companies joined forces in 2010 and now offer three choices of river tours: the original 64-mile scenic tour to Agness and the more action-filled 80- and 104-mile white-water tours. The 104-mile trip takes the river traveler to the rugged, boulder-filled Blossom Bar rapid, the end of the power-boat-navigable portion of the river. All excursions return to the small hamlet of Agness (population 95) for the daily lunch and dinner stop and rest breaks. Three lodges — Cougar Lane, Singing Springs and Lucas Lodge offer a variety of meal service

options to river travelers. The Rogue River canyon abounds in a variety of native wildlife. All river tours are hosted and narrated by veteran river pilots who spot wildlife and will maneuver the boat for prime photo opportunities. Hydro-Jet technology allows the fully loaded vessels to skim the shallow riffles effortlessly. Jerry’s Rogue Jets and Mail Boats operate between May 1 and Oct. 15 and their office and 60,000-square-foot asphalt customer parking lot is located along Highway 101 at the north end of Gold Beach at 29985 Harbor Way at the Port of Gold Beach. Also featured on their property is a free Rogue River museum, open year-round, which captures the rich history of the Rogue canyon. For information, call (800) 451-3645 or visit http://www.roguejets.com.

Klamath Jet Boat Tours

along the banks of the river on berries, fish and grubs. Ospreys return in April to their nesting area of the Klamath River from as far south as Brazil. Klamath mornings and evenings are typically cool or overcast near the coast, so dress warmly in layers. As you travel upriver, be prepared to shed some clothing as the day heats up; hats and sunglasses are recommended. Information provided by www. jetboattours.com.

Blue Creek Guide Service Blue Creek Guide Service does cultural jet boat tours in addition to fly fishing for salmon and steelhead on the Klamath River. Per-gish Carlson will take people about 25 miles upriver to Coon Creek. Along the trip, people can see eagles, bear, deer and turtles. To book a trip for sightseeing or fishing, you can go to the website at yurokfishingguides.com or call (707) 482-0579 or (707) 951-1284.

During the 45-mile, two-hour round-trip excursion along the

Klamath River, an experienced captain and narrator describes the river’s rich history, local Native American culture, and thriving wildlife. See if you can spot a bear, blacktail deer, elk, soaring osprey, eagles, hawks, otters, mink and many other varieties of wildlife by looking carefully along the riverbanks. From May 1 to Sept. 30, tours run daily from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are $42 for adults, $38 for seniors and military, $32 for teens, $22 for children aged 4 to 11 and children under 4 years old are free. Registration is available by phone at (800) 887-JETS or www. jetboattours.com. It also offers shuttles upriver to the Rivers West Lodge. The journey begins at the Klamath estuary called “Rekwoi,” the Indian name for where the fresh water meets the Pacific Ocean. Captains will provide a fully narrated river trip with plenty of stops to photograph spectacular vistas and wildlife. Bears are often seen feeding

GO BROOKINGS F ind fantastic fun things to do in and around Brookings in spring and summer. Beachcomb, river swim, shop, hike, fish, surf, golf, bowl, birdwatch, picnic and ...

You could take at least a week to enjoy what the area has to offer. If you don’t have that much time, here are a few places to go and sights to see that can be accomplished in one day. Port of Brookings Harbor Start your day with a cup of coffee or breakfast at one of several coffee houses and restaurants. Next, head to Sporthaven Beach where you can beachcomb, explore tide pools (at the extreme south end), stroll the oceanfront sidewalk at Beachfront RV Park or alongside the Chetco River. The boardwalk area, off Lower Harbor Road, boasts numerous restaurants and shops offering everything from ice cream to fishing gear. From nearly every vantage point, port visitors can watch recreational and commercial fishing boats come and go, as well as spy wildlife such as sea lions, sea otters, whales, pelicans, osprey and surfers. There is a public fishing dock, fish cleaning stations and charter and whale-watching boats are available. Azalea Park Try on the crown jewel of Brookings’ city parks. Azalea Park offers picnic

areas, a bandshell, snack shack, gazebo, KidTown playground, ball fields and the Capella by the Sea, a unique, woodand-glass structure designed for those who seek peace and contemplation. The park plays host to the free summer concerts in the park series on Sunday afternoons. It is crisscrossed by sidewalks and dirt trails perfect for leisurely walks. Stop and smell the azaleas. Some of the park’s magnificent azaleas were already here when Lewis and Clark wintered over in 1805-1806. Chetco River Go where all the locals go to swim, kayak, picnic or simply read a book under a tall shade tree at many of the river bars. Loeb State Park is, by far, the most popular spot for river fun. Even when it’s foggy in town, the park is usually sunny and warm. Drive 8 miles up North Bank Chetco River Road east of Brookings until you see the sign. There’s a state campground and day use area featuring picnic benches and fire pits. The nearby river bar offers plenty of room for parking and opportunities to wade, swim and dive off rocks into

deep pools of warm, crystal clear water.

HIDDEN GEMS ❖ Chetco Point Park - Find one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Yes, Chetco Point Park is a park next to a sewer plant. But it offers stunning ocean views, a picnic area and trails leading to rocky bluffs or down to small, isolated beaches and tide pools. Directions: From Highway 101 (Chetco Avenue) downtown, take Wharf Street to the end. ❖ Brandy Peak Distillery - Drink in this family-owned “micro-distillery” located in the coastal mountains just outside of Brookings. Tour the distillery, witness the art of brandy making and enjoy a sample in the tasting room, 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday or by appointment. Directions: Highway 101 north, right on Carpenterville Road, drive exactly 4 miles, right on Tetley Road. Call (541) 469-0194. ❖ Redwood Nature Trail - Enjoy the northernmost redwood grove on the West Coast, located east of Brookings. Meander through a 1-mile, self-guided interpretive hiking loop, through a ferncarpeted area with numerous 800-yearold, 250-foot-tall redwood trees. Directions: Go 9 miles on North Bank Chetco River Road, just past Loeb State Park. Look for the stone wall on the left side of the road.

the Port of Brookings Harbor – is the newest of the breed and undoubtedly the most intimate. Pelican Bay is a private aid to navigation owned and built by Bill and Jo Ann Cady of Harbor as an exercise in nostalgia and family tradition. Bill Cady, whose father spent 37 years in the U.S. Lighthouse Service, grew up in California lighthouses at Point Loma, Cape Mendocino and Trinidad, and wanted to recapture those days at his new home in Oregon. Resting comfortably on a bluff at

or hundreds of years, seafaring ships have met their demise along the coast of Southern Oregon and Northern California.

But out of Mother Nature’s fury along these 100 nautical miles of beautiful, rugged coastline has arisen a string of lighthouses so diverse and compelling in nature that they annually attract hundreds of thousands of admirers. These lighthouses include the Point St. George Reef Lighthouse and Battery

Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City

Point Lighthouse at Crescent City, Cape Blanco Lighthouse near the Sixes River north of Port Orford, Coquille River Lighthouse at Bandon, and Cape Arago Lighthouse near the entrance of Coos Bay, west of Charleston.

the west end of Lower Harbor Road, Pelican Bay Lighthouse looks as cozy as a backyard gazebo, only much better lighted. Its beacon reaches 11 nautical miles into the Pacific. And it’s an official lighthouse, commissioned by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1999. Neither cozy nor readily visible, St. George Reef Lighthouse sits precariously on a rock six miles off the coast of Crescent City in some of the most treacherous waters on the West Coast. Its construction was inspired by the Brother Jonathon disaster, which claimed the lives of nearly 200 passengers and crewmen. It took 11 years to complete in 1892. Built on a 70-foot-high concrete pier and equipped with a tower stretching upward to 134 feet, the lighthouse was considered one of the least desirable and most dangerous assignments for lighthouse keepers, claiming the lives of four during nearly 85 years of service. Decommissioned in 1975 and left

County Historical Society Museum in 1983. Then the Point St. George Reef Preservation Society capped a 10-year effort by gaining jurisdiction of the venerable landmark in 1996. In October 2002, a new light was installed in the rebuilt lantern room atop the lighthouse. The rebuilding of the lantern and its light was made possible by a donation from Glenn Williamson and the efforts of the St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society. The light is powered by a solar panel and wind generator and will stay on constantly, according to the society’s president, Guy Towers. Once manned and supplied by boom, derrick and prayer from lifeboats often bobbing dangerously in the sea, the lighthouse now is accessible only by helicopter. On a clear day, it’s visible from points all along Pelican Bay, including Brookings, as a gray dot against the horizon. Much closer to shore in Crescent

City is the Battery Point Lighthouse, which is accessible on foot when the tide is low. At high tide, Battery Point becomes an island. Built in 1856 when Crescent City was becoming a bustling center for export of lumber to San Francisco and import of miners to Oregon gold fields, the lighthouse held its ground against seismic waves from the 1964 Alaska earthquake, which claimed 11 lives in Crescent City and wiped out 29 blocks of commercial and residential structures. These days Battery Point Lighthouse has both a keeper and curator, housing exhibits from its storied past such as artifacts from the Brother Jonathon, the 1964 tsunami and a boat torpedoed in World War II. Back on the Oregon side of the border, Cape Blanco Lighthouse holds distinction as the state’s oldest continuously operated lighthouse since 1870, and its highest above sea level at 245 feet. The beacon from atop its

selected days from May through October, and volunteer guides from the Bureau of Land Management like to point out magnificent ocean vistas, including seven arch rocks on nearby Blanco Reef and Port Orford Reef. The Bureau of Land Management shares jurisdiction with the U.S. Coast Guard, the Oregon State Parks Department and two Native American tribes in the operation of the facility. Back in the pre-electricity days of diesel-fired lighting, Cape Blanco Lighthouse once had a keeper named James Langlois who spent 42 years lugging fuel up a 63-step spiral staircase to the tower. He retired in 1918, taking with him a state record for tenure that still stands. Probably the state’s lowest lighthouse in elevation, the Coquille River Lighthouse near Bandon sits just a few feet above the waterline not far from the point where the river meets

the Pacific. It had a brief but exciting history of operation. Commonly known to mariners of the day as the Bandon Light, the Coquille River Lighthouse was one of the state’s last to go into operation in 1896 and one of the first to leave service in 1939. But during its

Near the Coquille River’s mouth, the lighthouse is easily seen from Bandon years of operation, the Coquille River Lighthouse survived a fire in 1936 that wiped out Bandon, and was nearly rammed in the wreck of the C.A. Klose in 1903. The low-slung lighthouse structure stood abandoned for more than 35 years until restored as a museum in 1975. Because of its picturesque setting, the lighthouse is a popular subject for photographers and landscape painters. It

The current population of the California sea lion is approximately 200,000. Stellar Sea Lion While stellar or northern sea lions are sometimes confused with California sea lions, they are much larger and lighter in color. Males grow up to 11 feet and weigh almost 2,500 pounds and females may grow to 9 feet and weigh 1,000 pounds. It is much rarer to see stellar sea lions because, while their range is similar to that of California sea lions along the West Coast, they tend to spend much of their time off shore and only breed on unpopulated beaches. They eat a variety of fish and invertebrates and even occasionally other marine mammals.

Unlike the other three species of marine mammals commonly seen in this area, stellar sea lion pups are born off shore from mid-May to mid-July. The current population of stellar sea lions is approximately 40,000, with about 500 living in California. According to experts, there is concern about the population in California because it has dropped by 80 percent in the last 30 years. While rare, it is possible to see stellar sea lions through spotting scopes or binoculars on Castle Rock. According to experts there is also a colony of stellar sea lions north of the mouth of the Klamath River, but the area is remote and getting a glimpse of them is nearly impossible. Hikers can hear their barking from the Coastal Trail.

GO SMITH RIVER T he Smith River valley unfurls along Highway 101 near two eponymous communities — a small farming town and a tribal rancheria that runs a casino three miles south of the Oregon state line.

Halfway between the state line and Crescent City, the highway crosses the largest completely undammed river in California. The mouth of the Smith seven miles north of the bridge is a better spot to watch as the river’s cold clean current makes its final plunge to sea. Mouth of the Smith Popular with picnickers and anglers, the mouth of the Smith River also attracts a wild menagerie — diving sea lions, seals, salmon, otters, sharks, crabs, geese and shorebirds. On one side of a long sandbar the river fills fingers of a meandering slough, while on the other side ocean tides spray wildly, even on calm days. To access the mouth, turn west off 101 onto the Mouth of the Smith River Road, which runs through the heart of Smith River Rancheria, 3.5 miles north of the townsite and 3.5 miles south of the state line. The road ends at a parking lot overlook with access by staircase to a sand and pebble beach.

Beaches and breaches Edging north from the river mouth and still two miles south of the state line, Clifford Kamph Memorial Park is a stellar spot for beachcombing, surf fishing and whale watching. With three parking spots on a bluff overlooking the ocean, this unassuming county park has drive-up views and convenient human facilities nearby, including wheelchair accessible restrooms and a ramp leading to a sandy beach. The campground is hosted yearround, with 12 tent camp sites rented on a first-come first-served basis. One fish, two fish... Salmonids are a family of fish famous for their miraculous migration patterns: from freshwater streams out to the ocean depths and back upstream again, to spawn and die where it all began. Glimpse these revered creatures up close at Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery, which raises steelhead trout and chinook salmon to supplement sport fishing stocks in the Smith River. Strict regulations protect the Smith’s wild stock from overfishing. Licensed

Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery

anglers may keep five wild chinook per year, while it’s illegal to keep any wild steelhead. Hatchery fish on the other hand are always fair game, distinguishable from the wild fish by a clipped adipose fin. The Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery welcomes visitors during regular business hours and is situated just west of the highway behind the Smith River Post Office on 255 North Fred Haight Drive. Tours are free, though donations to the non-profit enterprise are accepted. Bulbs in bulk Quilt-like brown and green swatches blanketing the Smith River valley are Easter lily bulb fields. Hard-to-miss signs on 101 bracket the town of Smith River, announcing one’s entrance to or exit from the “Easter Lily Capital of the World.” Don’t expect to see fields abloom around Easter time, though. Easter lily bulbs grow underground most of the year, flowering naturally in the summer. Petals are typically picked off as they bloom, before most bulbs are harvested, packed away and sold to nurseries far and wide for greenhouse cultivation around Easter. For a more scenic look at these farmlands, turn west on Fred Haight Drive, a short detour that parallels 101 for 3.4 miles. Watch for cows crossing the road.

GO CRESCENT CITY U .S. Highway 101 bypasses some of Crescent City’s most beautiful places — rugged beaches and ancient redwood groves, islands alive with birds and sea lions, historic lighthouses and epic murals. Most pass unseen unless you stray from the beaten path.

Pebble Beach Drive Undulating over high bluffs, Pebble Beach Drive has multiple beach access points and stellar views of Castle Rock, the biggest, birdiest sea stack around. Nearly half of all off-shore seabird nesting sites in California are on the rock islands between the Oregon state line and Crescent City. Some parking areas allow access to the road’s namesake, a favorite spot with beachcombers, especially agate hunters. Point St. George Turn seaward from the north end of Pebble Beach Drive to Point St. George Heritage Area, the third-most western promontory in the lower 48. Infamous for shipwrecks, St. George Reef juts out to sea from these high grassy bluffs and an off-shore lighthouse marks the edge of reasonable navigability. Panoramic views of reef, open ocean and coastal mountain ranges make this area a local favorite. A trail from the parking lot leads to grassy paths and the beach.

To access Pebble Beach Drive’s northern section and Point St. George Heritage Area from the north end of Crescent City, exit Washington Boulevard and go three miles. At a stop sign surrounded by ocean views and pastureland, go straight another mile for the Heritage Area parking lot, or turn left to follow Pebble Beach Drive. From central Crescent City, turn west on 5th Street or 9th Street and go one mile to Pebble Beach Drive. The Harbor Famous for fueling Californians’ love of Dungeness crab, Crescent City Harbor produces the highest commercial value of seafood of any California port north of Monterey. Situated on the south side of town among numerous hotels and restaurants, the harbor hosts over 200 commercial fishing boats, and lots of brash sea lions and seals. These bulbous creatures laze over the docks and walkways in the harbor. Slipping into the water, they become swift and elegant. To view sea lions and harbor seals up close (but not too

close!), turn west on Anchor Way at the harbor’s south end. Look for a pile of pinnipeds on your right, near the Chart Room restaurant. (See pages 50-51 for more details.)

HIDDEN GEMS ❖ Whaler’s Island - Anchor Way also leads to one of Crescent City’s best places for quiet reflection: Whaler’s Island. This towering rock outcropping was permanently attached to the mainland by a quarry operation. Once about 10 acres in size, in the 1800s it hosted a whaling outfit. It now measures 3.65 acres, the rest blasted away for the construction of the inner jetty that extends from its north side. What’s left is prime real estate: a jutting mass of rocks, grass and faint trails affording the kind of unique views of familiar features you normally see only from an airplane. ❖ Howland Hill Road - A trip past Crescent City’s industrial parks, junkyards, and casino will drop you trap-door like onto Howland Hill Road, a portal to the eternal shade and calm of coastal redwoods, which wends around these giants, over cold clear streams and through a fern-laden primeval landscape. This unpaved but reasonably maintained road passes by numerous trailheads. Motorhomes and trailers are not advised on Howland Hill Road. (See Page 60 for more details.)

T

he redwood forests of Del Norte and Humboldt counties boast some of the most magnificent and accessible old-growth redwood trees in California. The region’s rich history is inextricably tied to these ancient giants through the timber industry. Now, the trees are being preserved for current and future generations to inspire awe and wonder at any age. Compared to these aged, towering forests, we are all mere children.

Howland Hill Road east of Crescent City. Parking and a restroom are available. The loop trail meanders alongside the sparkling blue-green Smith River. Ferns and clovers blanket the ground, giving the grove an other-worldly feel. The trail is short, but some longer options are available for those who are up for more exploration. In the summer, Stout Grove can be accessed from Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park campground via a seasonal bridge over the Smith River. Check at a park information station

This easy and highly accessible trail is one of the first that drivers come to after leaving Crescent City on U.S. Highway 199. Be cautious when driving this stretch about 5 miles from U.S. Highway 101, because there are often people crossing the road here. In fact, the area is so congested that park officials have moved the Simpson-Reed Grove trailhead to a location off nearby Walker Road, which also leads to other other old-growth redwood trails and a stretch of the Smith River. Informative placards along the path educate hikers about redwood trees and other vegetation found there. The Peterson Memorial Loop can be taken to extend the hike through Simpson-Reed Grove. After crossing bridges over a babbling brook and experiencing the

Off Howland Hill Road, the Boy Scout Trail (5.6 miles round-trip) is known for its forest of majestic redwoods as far as the eye can see. And like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, Fern Falls treats hikers who make it to the end of this trail with the sight of cascading waters (more or less, depending on the season). The rainy winter season provides more of a rushing waterfall than the drier summer months. The Boy Scout Trail is not an easy trek, but the path is well-maintained, which makes the hike only moderately difficult. The feather in the cap of the Boy Scout Trail is the Boy Scout Tree, which is located off a short, unmarked side trail at 2.4 miles into the hike. So keep a

Hiouchi Trail This easy hike (4.2 miles round-trip) through Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park follows the pristine Smith River. The trailhead can be found just before the Hiouchi Bridge heading away from Crescent City on U.S. Highway 199. Parking is along the side of the road. The Hiouchi Trail explores some of the most beautiful old growth redwoods in the park while giving the hiker prime views of the turquoise waters of the Smith River. In the summer, this trail even leads all the way to the Stout Grove.

Redwoods from your car How can you see the best of the redwoods on one short drive that’ll barely nudge your gas gauge? Three words: Howland Hill Road. This unpaved but relatively sedan-friendly roadway is your route to old-growth redwood bliss whether you’re looking for long, medium or short hiking paths. Or, don’t even bother getting out of the car. The views from the road are that good. South of downtown Crescent City but north of the harbor, turn east off of U.S. Highway 101 onto Elk Valley Road. Then turn right on Howland Hill Road, which is paved and straight at this point. Cruise past the Elk Valley Casino on your left (or stop and try your luck – you’re about to leave civilization behind). Soon, the pavement ends and a redwood wonderland begins. Elsewhere, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts would travel for hours to get to a place with this kind of scenery. And it still wouldn’t be as good, because you’re

Open those windows and the sunroof if you’re lucky enough to have one, because some of the best views are straight up. Just don’t forget to keep an eye on the road if you’re behind the wheel. The view is mesmerizing, but you do have to work your way around some epic trees. There are plenty of pull-off points

SPRING/SUMMER 2014 COAST G0 BOOK - Page 61

Which one’s the tallest? People frequently ask where they can find the world’s tallest tree. The quick answer is, they probably can’t. Coast redwoods, or California redwoods, are the tallest species of tree on the planet, although their redwood cousins, the giant sequoias in the Sierra Nevadas, are known to pack more girth. The search and discovery for the world’s tallest coast redwood inspired the founding of Redwood National Park. “In the summer of 1963, a writer and naturalist named Paul A. Zahl led a National Geographic Society into the remains of the ancient redwood forest of Northern California,” writes Richard Preston in his book “The Wild Trees.” In the Redwood Creek watershed east of Orick, Zahl found a 367.8-foot tree, later dubbed the Tall Tree. Five years later, Congress created Redwood National Park in the Redwood Creek drainage and the Tall Trees Grove,

with the Tall Tree, became the heart of the new park. National Geographic called the Tall Tree “the Mt. Everest of All Living Things,” according to Preston. The distinction didn’t last, partly because the top of the Tall Tree fell off. Tree hunters have employed handheld laser

The Grove of Titans contains the largest coast redwood on Earth. range finders to get estimates on trees that might rank the highest, but the only surefire way to get an accurate reading is to climb to the top and drop a tape measure down to the ground. The Stratosphere Giant took the title in 2000, and it’s growing 2 to 5 inches per year, according to Preston. The last reading in 2010 put the titan in Humboldt

Redwoods State Park at 371.1 feet. In 2006, researchers found the tallest and second tallest redwoods ever recorded in one afternoon of bushwhacking through Redwood National Park: Helios, at 375 feet and Hyperion, at 379.1 feet. Hyperion still holds the claim to the tallest tree on Earth. Although the very tallest redwoods are found in deep, secret valleys of the Redwood Creek basin, some botanists and redwood enthusiasts consider the Grove of Titans in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park to be an even more amazing discovery. “They are, collectively, the largest redwood trees on Earth,” Preston wrote in “The Wild Trees.” Discovered in 1998, the Grove of Titans contains the largest coast redwood on Earth, the Lost Monarch with a trunk over 30 feet in diameter and holding more than 40,000 cubic feet of wood, according to Preston, and several other of the largest redwoods ever recorded.

The attractions include a world-famous Native American museum, a huge gift shop and a unique restaurant. “The inside is like being in a forest initially, the other section is like being at the bottom of the (Smith) River,” said Thompson about the Forest Cafe. “If you’re sitting at the bottom, you’d be able to see what was underneath.” The cafe accomplishes

The hero of Trees of Mystery is Paul Bunyon, his myths and friends in the stories carved out by loggers of long ago. The Trail of Tall Tales is devoted to the myths surrounding Bunyon, as are the mammoth-size statue of his ox, Babe and himself in front of the building. “Paul Bunyon is a big hit with the kids,” said Thompson. The End of the Trail Museum includes artifacts from tribes all over North America. “The End of the Trail Museum is said to be one of the best private collections in the world,” said Thompson. “It’s broad and very deep in its

GO GAMBLING F or those interested in gambling, Del Norte County offers three casinos within 30 miles of one another, and all have undergone recent expansions. And there’s a fourth one on the way.

In Crescent City, Elk Valley Casino, which is owned by the Elk Valley Rancheria, offers hundreds of slot machines, bingo, and both blackjack and poker tables. A recently expanded bar and restaurant also gives Elk Valley patrons the opportunity to eat, drink and gamble at the same time. Elk Valley Casino’s location on Howland Hill Road is near the southern entrance to a scenic drive through old-growth redwoods. Farther north in Smith River is the Lucky 7 Casino, conveniently located just off U.S. Hwy. 101. Owned and operated by the Smith River Rancheria, this casino offers blackjack tables, slots, video poker machines, poker tournaments and bingo. The Lucky 7 Casino recently completed a $25 million expansion that includes covered parking, a larger

gaming area, a convention and events center, a sports bar with dancing and live music, a new restaurant, nonsmoking game room, poker room and bingo area. Lucky 7 constructed a 71-room hotel adjacent to the casino, and it opened last summer. The Yurok Tribe made its first-ever foray into tribal gaming in 2011 by opening a gaming room adjacent to the Pem-Mey Fuel Mart in Klamath. Fifteen slot machines are now located in a room that used to be home to the tribe’s Kee-Ya Espresso business, which has since moved across the street to become a drivethrough coffee shop. The tribe will expand its gaming offerings when its new casino opens this summer, featuring 120 slot machines next to a 60-room Holiday Inn Express in Klamath.

GO KLAMATH

T

he Klamath area is home to many things: the headquarters of California’s largest Native American tribe and the place where a 263-mile-long river flows spectacularly into the Pacific, to name a couple. The village — relocated after a devastating flood in December 1964 — and Yurok tribal headquarters are both on the inland side of U.S. Highway 101 just north of its bridge over the Klamath River. The most spectacular scenery, however, is reached by turning west off the highway onto Requa Road. Historic Requa Inn On your right less than a mile up Requa Road is the Historic Requa Inn, which you could consider either a big bed-and-breakfast or a small hotel. It was built as a 22-room inn in 1914 after a fire destroyed an older hotel built on the same site in the late 1800s. Its views of the river are as scrumptious as the multiple-course gourmet meals served in the dining room. Mouth of Klamath Overlook Continue up Requa Road to a parking lot on your left that overlooks the Mouth of the Klamath River to the south. During salmon season, fishermen amass in the water or on the sandy spit.

If you think the view is good from here, walk down the Coastal Trail about half a mile, and turn left on another trail that meanders for an additional halfmile to a wooden observation platform jutting over the ocean. From here, the Mouth of the Klamath can be seen in all its splendor, and if you’re lucky you might see the spouts of gray whales at sea. Retrace your steps to the parking lot, or continue north a little farther on a memorable stretch of the Coastal Trail.

HIDDEN GEMS ❖ The Golden Bears - They’re not exactly hidden, considering the size and golden color of the pairs of bear statues at each end of the Highway 101 bridge spanning the Klamath. The gem here is the story behind them. The current bridge replaced one that washed out in the December 1964 flood. It featured gray cement bears that Klamath residents repeatedly painted

gold, only to have highway workers wash the paint off. When the new bridge was built, the state gave in and provided golden bears, which after all are symbols of California. ❖ Tour Thru Tree - If you’ve never driven your car though a redwood, here’s your chance. The Tour Thru Tree is located off Highway 169 a quarter-mile east of Highway 101. The opening is 7 feet 4 inches wide and 9 feet 6 inches high, which permits the passage of all standard cars, vans and pickups, even those with car-top luggage carriers. Rigid extended mirrors and extra wide tires will prevent passage. The tree is 15 feet in diameter at eye level. It is about 90 feet tall to the point where the top was blown off. Side branches give an overall height of 164 feet. Because of a steep grade, a sharp curve and limited parking at the tree site, trailers and large motorhomes are prohibited beyond the parking area at the toll station. Motorcycles are advised to use low gears. The tree is open yearround during daylight hours. ❖ Klamath Glen - Up for a little side trip? Head east on Highway 169 for about 5 miles to the village of Klamath Glen, where you can enjoy some upriver views of the Klamath.

GO FISHING O

pportunities for great fishing on the Wild Rivers Coast are as varied as the rivers. Before fishing, it is mandatory to possess a fishing license and tags (punch cards) for either Oregon or California.

Coquille River Crabbing for Dungeness can be phenomenal in the Coquille bay at Bandon from the local crab dock in Old Town and near the Bullards State Beach boat ramp. Crabbers use crab pots, crab rings and Pineapple Butterfly Traps. Chinook salmon start migrating upriver in robust numbers on the first full-moon cycle toward the end of August. This is an upriver trolling fishery. Anglers launch from Bullards State Beach at low tide and start trolling upriver using a Fish Flash and a cut-plug herring. The Rocky Point Boat Ramp is another popular boat launch facility to put in and take out. A wild coho river fishery has also grown in popularity in recent years, starting in September. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for current bag limits. Fantastic rockfish, lingcod, halibut, tuna and salmon fishing can also be found outside the Port of Bandon, with the primary charterboat operation being Prowler Charters, located in Old Town Bandon. Crab gear, bait, tackle and excellent seafood dishes are provided at Tony’s

Crab Shack in Old Town Bandon. Elk and Sixes rivers At the northern end of Curry County are two gems of the Pacific Northwest in the land that time forgot. The Elk and Sixes are sister streams that flow so close together, it would be hard not to mention one without the other. The Elk River empties into the ocean south of Cape Blanco, while the Sixes River flows into the Pacific just a few miles north of Cape Blanco. Both are relatively short, but don’t let their size fool you. They boast robust runs of Chinook salmon that range from 25 to over 50 pounds, and both rivers are known for having some of the latest runs of salmon on the Oregon Coast. Generally speaking, the first salmon enter the river mouths in September and will progress upriver depending on the amount of rainfall. Fresh chromers are often caught well into January. All salmon must be released in the Sixes. Steelhead enter both systems around Thanksgiving and the runs peak around February. The main float in the Elk is to put

in at the Elk River Hatchery and take out at the RV park or float all the way down to Ironhead. Another option is to take out at the Elk River Camp Ground. The main drift on the Sixes is to put in at Edson Creek and take out at either Mid-Drift, the Grange, or drift all the way downriver to the Hughes House. But if the winds are blowing downriver, do not drift below Highway 101. Instead, take out at the Grange. The Elk fishes best at a level of 5 feet. To check Elk River water conditions, call (541) 332-0405. Lower Rogue River There is something to fish for in the Lower Rogue River almost 12 months out of the year, from Foster Bar down to the mouth. The first spring Chinook begin entering the mouth in late February and the run gradually builds, peaking into April and May. The Rogue is famous for its large fall chinook, caught from July to October. The traditional method used here is trolling a Rogue Bait Rig or a comparable spinnerbait rig, using an anchovy on the back two hooks. Coho salmon are frequently caught in the lower bay in September and October. Boat launches are available at the county ramp, Jot’s Resort and at Lex’s Landing. The winter steelhead run is quite

Page 76 - SPRING/SUMMER 2014 COAST G0 BOOK

Chetco River Perhaps best known for its trophy chinook from 50 to 60 pounds, and for both wild and hatchery winter steelhead exceeding 20 pounds, the Chetco is also known for having the safest bar on the Oregon Coast. In September, anglers in the estuary below the Highway 101 bridge begin trolling spinnerbait rigs and plug-cut herring for salmon averaging 28 pounds. The salmon run starts petering out around mid-November, when winter steelhead begin dominating the river. By December a handful of anglers have usually landed several steelhead over 20 pounds. The run peaks in late February, but good numbers can be caught through March. The wild and scenic section of the Chetco, above Ice Box, will leave you breathless. The best floats are from the South Fork down to Miller Bar, from Miller Bar down to Loeb State Park, or from Loeb State Park down to Social Security Bar. At Rivers Edge RV Park, on the South Bank Chetco River Road, offers its clients boat and bank access to a popular stretch of the lower Chetco River. Winchuck River Fishing for salmon and steelhead is seasonal. Check ODFW regulations for updates. Smith River Barbless hooks are manda-

tory when fishing the Smith. If the Chetco River gets blown out at about 10,000 cfs and has a chocolate-brown appearance, California’s Smith River has an emerald green appearance and is plunkable the same day. The Smith and Chetco rivers are similar in many ways. Both kick out trophy salmon and steelhead, and both empty into Pelican Bay. Salmon fishing usually picks up around September in spots like The Sand Hole, Cattle Crossing, The Piling Hole and at the mouth of Rowdy Creek. Bobbers and sand shrimp/ cocktails can be deadly. Early in the season, fish the north bank off of Mouth of the Smith River Road, off Highway 101. Here, it is best to fish the outgoing tide and through low slack, where the river makes a slot. The entry to the south bank of the Smith is by Pala Road. Hike from the end of Pala to access the various holes on the Smith. Great places to plunk would be at the Del Norte County boat ramp off Fred Haight Drive, the water tower off Highway 101, Ruby Van Deventer County Park off of Highway 197, Peacock Hole, Early Hole, and the Jed Smith State Park off Highway 199. When the river starts lowering, it’s time to start sidedrifting stretches such as The Forks down to Ruby or from Ruby down to Saxton’s. Klamath River Barbless hooks are also mandatory on the Klamath River. The Klamath starts fishing well around May for spring Chinook heading for

Chinook salmon start migrating up the Coquille River in robust numbers toward the end of August. the Trinity River. There is little bank access, so please don’t launch here unless you have a sled with a full tank of gas. From the Roy Rook launch off of Terwer Road, start heading upriver until you find an inside bend. Anchor up above the bend, and set out a spinner running from a spreader bar so it settles in the bend. Names of spots are meaningless here because the shape of the river changes frequently. Therefore, it is best to know how to read the water and fish accordingly, but Blake’s Riffle is a pretty good place to start. The size of these fish average between 12 and 16

pounds, but they are some of the best eating salmon on the planet. The fall run of salmon and the steelhead fishing is world class. The season lasts from June through the end of October, but Labor Day Weekend generally kicks off the fishery. If you are new to the Klamath River system, it is best to hire a guide first. There is also a launch at the Requa Boat ramp. Both summer and winter steelhead, as well as half-pounders, can be caught on flies, spinners, and traditional steelhead and salmon gear. Panther Creek Lodge at the mouth provides excellent fishing guides and accommodations.

GO ORICK S

ituated halfway between Eureka and Crescent City on Highway 101, Orick is a former logging town contentiously turned into the heart of Redwood National and State Parks 40 years ago.

Orick boomed and busted along the banks of Redwood Creek, which is more like a raging river than a babbling brook. Its 282-square-mile basin contains much of the world’s remaining old-growth coastal redwoods, trees that can grow taller than 30-story buildings. Besides superlative height, coastal redwoods can live nearly 2,000 years, longer than the Roman Empire existed. Old-growth trees around Orick have been quietly growing since Roman armies were marching across Mesopotamia. Here are some highlights: Mouth of Redwood Creek Like the mouth of the Smith River 60 miles north, Redwood Creek plunges dramatically into the Pacific along an easily accessible beach. Gargantuan logs sent out to sea during high creek flows are strewn across the sand by tides, offering a different view of the redwoods. To access the mouth of Redwood Creek turn west off of Highway 101 two miles south of Orick, toward the Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center. From there, follow a boardwalk to view the creek’s slough and go north 1/4 mile across the flats to view the mouth.

Elk viewing Orick’s human residents are outnumbered by Roosevelt elk, the largest species of elk in North America. Most often seen grazing contentedly in dewy meadows near the coast, elk attitudes change radically during the “rutting” season in late spring, when 1,000-pound bulls armed with six-, seven- and eight-point racks spar one another for dibs on the does. It’s a spectacular display. Elk are many things. Majestic. Powerful. Graceful. Wild. Friendly they are not. Elk do not appreciate paparazzi and have been known to charge overzealous people. They can be spotted all over the Orick Valley. Turn west on Davison Road, 3 miles north of Orick and go 1/2 mile to Elk Meadow, part of Redwood State and National Parks. Redwood trails Davison Road is an access point for some incredible trails as well as the only tent camping spot in the area, Gold Bluffs Beach, located six miles down a dirt road that connects to Davison Road at Elk Meadow. For those interested in a short jaunt, the two-mile Trillium Falls loop can be accessed by

a foot path south of the Elk Meadow parking lot, wending through giant redwoods and culminating in a waterfall. Lady Bird Johnson Grove is another easily accessed and popular spot for viewing old growth redwoods. About a mile north of Orick and a mile south of Davison Road, turn east on Bald Hills Road for 2 miles. The trailhead parking lot is on the right after a footbridge.

HIDDEN GEMS ❖ Rare minerals - The Orick hills have other secrets, such as rare minerals found nowhere else in the Western Hemisphere. Orickite is a rare mash-up of copper, iron, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Only a few grams have ever been found. The first sample came from Coyote Peak, overlooking Orick, and was sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., for further study and safekeeping. ❖ The biggest nut - Orick made another offering to our nation’s Capitol in 1977, when loggers escorted a 9-ton peanut carved from a redwood to the White House, a protest in the form of a present for President Jimmy Carter shortly after he approved the expansion of Redwood National Park. It carried a banner: “It may be peanuts to you, but it’s jobs to us.” The unaccepted gift made the trip back to Orick where it can still be seen, quite worse for the wear, in front of the local gas station.

TSUNAMIS

Y

ou’re in the most tsunami-prone region of the lower 48 states, but other than keeping in mind the routes to high ground, you can relax.

How do I know a tsunami is coming? Tidal waves don’t show up unannounced. If they result from faraway

earthquakes, coastal areas have several hours to prepare, and the government has gotten very good at predicting when and where surges will arrive, and their

If significant surges are expected, low-lying areas would be evacuated, and tsunami sirens would sound well in advance. Signs identify tsunami zones

A boat makes a precarious escape from Crescent City Harbor during a tsunami surge in March 2011. and point to escape routes. There would be much less warning if a tsunami is triggered by a major nearby earthquake. In that event, seek high ground as soon as the ground stops shaking, because a tidal wave could arrive in a matter of minutes.

How common are tsunamis? They’re rare, but not as unusual here as elsewhere. On March 11, 2011, surges generated by a massive earthquake in Japan caused significant damage in the Crescent City and Brookings harbors and swept a man to his death at the mouth of the Klamath River. In Crescent City Harbor, the surges wiped out docks that had been weakened by a 2006 tsunami. They’ve since been rebuilt. On average, about three tsunamis a decade are recorded in Crescent City. Most times, the surges stay within the confines of the harbor, but in March 1964 late-night tidal waves generated by a massive earthquake in Alaska washed through much of downtown, causing catastrophic damage. Eleven people died in Crescent City, one in Klamath and four more on the Oregon Coast. Where can I see signs of past tsunamis today? In Crescent City Harbor, the most dramatic effect of the 2011 tsunami was what you couldn’t see. The surges washed away the docks in the inner boat basin, leaving most of the community’s fishing fleet homeless for a while. In the Port of Brookings Harbor, damaged docks have been replaced and little evidence remains of the tsunami. To read accounts of the ’64 tidal waves, go to triplicate.com and search for “1964” and “tsunami.” There might still be copies of a commemorative special section available at the Triplicate front office, 312 H St., Crescent City. Being in tsunami country can be fun. In 2011, people enjoyed the spectacle from high above Crescent City’s Pebble Beach, watching repeated cycles of extreme high tide to extreme low tide within 10 minutes.
