Just a ton of different things to do on our Cannon Beach Vacation... just depends on what you might want to do....if you like history, then Ft. Clatsop might just be the coolest thing you do.
If you like to eat fresh seafood or lumberjack piles of home cooking you can find a place that will scratch your itch..
If nature is your thing, then Mt St. Helens, Multnoma Falls or just a drive down the beach might be just knock your socks off....
I will list a few places or things to do but I'm sure I'll forget something...
To go fast,go alone
To go far, go together
