      This 327 foot monolith is known by two names, Haystack Rock and Chief Kiawanda Rock, but its similarity to another Haystack Rock up the coast at Cannon Beach makes it a neat place to stop and see. It actually mirrors its smaller 237 foot namesake 60 miles away, but they appear the same size due to its location farther out in the ocean. Cape Kiwanda Natural Area is a good place from which to view it. ...

      Once the most important link between Northern and Southern Arizona by rail and highway, the now quiet town of Ash Fork remains an important milestone for those following Route 66. Head west from here and you can follow US 66 all the way to Kingman, 92 miles away, ...

      On Coxcomb Hill, the highest point in the city of Astoria, is a 125 foot tall column 600 feet above sea level. It has a hand-painted 500 foot spiral frieze that depicts Oregon history. Inside are stairs to take you to the observation deck, where you can see most of the peninsula below, the coast range, ship traffic on Young's Bay and the Pacific ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River. This climb is worth the effort and the column is itself a marvel. ...

      It's not really a beach, and it doesn't have swimming, but City Beach is every bit as much fun. Activities include rock climbing, volleyball, ping pong, bocce ball, foosball, shuffleboard and air hockey and the only indoor ropes course in northern California. There's also a restaurant and a sports bar, and ample facilities for hosting parties and special events for any age group. ...

      Don't miss this turnout off Highway 101 to the Cummins Peak Road. A sharp left at the first intersection takes you up the lookout road to the 800 foot summit for a nice hike and gorgeous views of the Oregon Coast and "Devil's Churn" below. Bring binoculars for possible whale sightings, and visit the ancient stone shelter along the trail. ...

      Photo by Peter Thody
      Bearizona is a drive-thru wildlife park that's home to bison, big horn sheep, wolves, raptors and - you guessed it - a large number of black bears, including cubs. All live in environments which, although ultimately enclosed, allow them to wander (and hide!) and are a pretty close approximation of their natural habitats. You can explore the park's 160 acres in your own vehicle, or take a guided tour in one of their buses. ...
