The View from Otter Crest

Looking S at the Otter Crest Marine Reserve and a portion of Cape Foulweather.

 

"In 1928, Wilbur S. and Florence Badley gave the land on Cape Foulweather to the state of Oregon with provisions that the state not allow concessions on the property, the sale of merchandise or the erection of buildings on the land. The state was to maintain the viewpoint for the public."

"Cape Foulweather was discovered by Captain James Cook, the English explorer on March 7, 1778. The weather was particularly stormy on the day of his discovery (winds of 100 mph at the cape are not unusual). Captain Cook named the location Cape Foulweather, the first geographic location named on this voyage to the north Pacific coast."
