It has been a LONG time since we have hiked. We finally got our act together and headed out today. We drove to the coast, and on the way decided to go to Baker Beach. We got there, and it was raining pretty heavily. We still decided to go to the beach/dunes and hike. It was beautiful. And with the grey skies, grey waters, and undulating dunes, it almost felt otherworldly. We got really wet while we hiked, but we returned to our car happy and satisfied with our outing.
The short trail from the parking lot to the dunes that looked over the beach and ocean.
When we turned around to look from where we had walked up.
Our first view of the ocean.
We continued on, hiking on the dunes. The sand was sometime so firm, it was like walking on concrete. Other times, our feet would sink in anywhere between 1-4 inches. Despite the cold and rainy weather, the vistas were beautiful. We found ourselves completely alone on the beach and dunes, and reveled in it. This is how Oregon spoils us. We get to see such beauty, and not get disturbed by people and conversations that would bore us.
