Davis Peak, Alpine lakes wilderness

| Starting the adventure |
With switchback after switchback the hike is mildly strenuous. After you reach remnants of an old wildfire the trees thin out with majestic mountain landscapes completing surrounding you.
If you enjoy photography its worth your time!!

DRIFT CREEK FALLS, OREGON
Lincoln City, Oregon has plenty of ocean beaches to sink your toes into.
It also has a nearby 66 ft waterfall so when the rain starts to fall or the heavy fog smothers the ocean view head inland for a quick 3 mile hike to view Drift Creek falls.
The trail is short, downhill and full of lush shades of green from ground to sky.
Run or slowly swing across the 250 foot swinging bridge as the roar of the waterfall echoes of the rocks.
With only 490 feet of elevation gain, heading back to your car, the trail is perfect for a family adventure.
There use to be a lovely pool below the falls wear one could wade in and cool off from the summer heat. In 2014 when i visited the falls the pool is non-existent as a huge apart of the cliff split off and collapsed into the pool.
