Sunset Highway
| October 2003: Along the waysides of the Sunset Hwy (Oregon hwy 26) | ||
|
Sunset Hwy isn't the most exotic locale, but some of the scenes are really quite beautiful. This location was just a few steps off the road, and into another world. | |

This is a photo from a small loop-trail at one of the highway rest stops. | |

The salmon were in full "spawn-mode" heading up this stream, which was flowing down the Pacific side of the Oregon coastal divide. | |

| Where is it? | ||
| The "Sunset Highway" is Oregon Hwy 26 - the fastest route from Portland, OR to the Pacific coast. | ||
| Before you go... | ||
| Eastbound traffic can get pretty nasty on Sunday evenings, when the winding road is filled with impatient city-folk determined to pass everybody with their giant SUVs. When you add cell phones and rain to the mix, the danger multiplies. If you're one of these people, I ask you... will it really matter if you get home 3 minutes later? | ||
