This is Devil's Churn in far-western Oregon. The site is usually incorrectly spelled "Devils Churn". The bedrock in the area is the Yachats Basalt, a Late Eocene unit consisting of basaltic lava flows and agglomerates, plus some andesite and trachyandesite. Igneous dikes are also present - most are basalt, plus minor andesite and rhyodacite. The basalt lava flows are often porphyritic, with labradorite plagioclase feldspar phenocrysts. Glomeroporphyritic varieties are present, with clusters of blade-shaped plagioclase phenocrysts.
The linear valley at Devil's Churn is a fault zone that has been erosively enlarged by wave action from the Pacific Ocean. Landward, the chasm ends at a sea cave, which suggests that the entire feature was formerly a sea cave, but most of the roof has collapsed.

From park signage:
The Power of Devils Churn
Pulverizing and pounding.
Crashing and smashing.
Endlessly, relentlessly, the Pacific Ocean careens into Devils Churn, until the crescendo of waves explodes in a riot of white froth . . . and then escapes back to the sea.
Showtime!
Devils Churn puts on its most dramatic shows during high tides and storms.
Devils Churn began as a small fracture - a weak area in the ancient volcanic rock.
Thunderous waves have gnawed at the rock for eons, eroding it away grain by grain, enlarging the crack into a chasm.
As you approach, you'll feel the power of the churn like thunder in your bones, and anticipate each collision of wave and rock like bursting fireworks!
The sea never finishes its work . . .
All along the coast, you'll see chasms-in-the-making. Some are only tiny fissures today - reminders of the Devils Churn's modest beginning.
If you venture closer, watch your footing on slippery rocks, and never turn your back on the ocean!

Jim Beam's Devil's Cut Launch Party in Dallas Texas. Event was held at Cowboy's Red River. Pictures shot by Randy Peterson of The Distillery Media.
Devil's Staircase gets a trifle narrow in spots. The picture is missing audio, so imagine for yourself the noises of scraping gear and muttered "eccentric prayers."
A day use site located along the Alice Lake Loop, Devil's Bath is considered one of Canada's largest cenotes (flooded sinkhole) measuring 359m around and 44m deep. The cenote connects to the Benson River which is 200m to the northwest through a series of cave passages 80m below the water table.
This day use site has a viewing platform perched above the cenote which enables a great view into the dark waters below. Always use caution when traveling on industrial roads.
Native nations consider this site sacred, and tie prayer cloths to trees along the trail surrounding the tower. Visitors are asked not to touch or photograph those, and I apologize if you see any in this picture. I tried my best to avoid photographing them.
Devils Tower got its name in 1875 by a white explorer. Native nations call the site Bear's Lodge or Bear's House and do not like the name Devils Tower. Several attempts to formally change the name to Bear Lodge have been met with opposition in Congress.
We've been to Wyoming many times over the years, but this was our first trip to Devils Tower.
