Cape Kiwanda 16 Feb 2015

I left Manzanita around 10:30a and headed for Cape Kiwanda.  I had stopped there once before but had not explored the enormous sandstone bluffs.  I suppose they are technically off limits but there were people and trails everywhere - a huge attraction to the locals.  They seemed to know what they were doing so I followed them.  The rocks were fabulous, wind and water eroded into cool patterns and shapes.  I only had time for one of the sections so I will have to go back for more one day.

three teen boys hopping and jumping everywhere!

people kept climbing up on this rock for photos, making me nervous as there is a drop off on the other side

I think you are supposed to stay on the other side of the fence
