Easy hike - Thor's Wall

To do this fun little hike, start at the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, and follow the paved trail through the historic Civilian Conservation Corps Camp, down to the rugged tide pools to see several unique natural features. Thor's well and Spouting Horn are both naturally formed holes in the rocky surface that cause geyser-like spectacles when waves hit in certain ways. Thor's wall is more immense (20 feet deep!), while spouting horn is smaller and spraying fountain-esque. High tide is the best time to see them if you can time it right. Be on guard of huge waves splashing in, though. Low tide is also a fun time to check out the area to see all the tide pool creatures.

After you explore the tide pools, and take in the scenery surrounding the area, you can loop back up to the visitor center. The hike is a little under a mile; so it's easy- but allow time to explore the natural formations of this magnificent spot on the Oregon coast.
