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!

It's called the Devil Stool because it would do some evil to your back after sitting in it for 12 hours.

This year I was one of the Devils. The Devils are a staple of all the Halloween events. I've never worn these costumes before, they're even more fun than I expected.
Some aerials of Devils Backbone near Ophir, OR. I stopped here on my road trip from San Diego to Seattle.
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."
I say the hype for this Kidrobot series is 90% affection for the classic years of the Simpsons...these mini's are decent enough...except for the few that have huge QC issues (I haven't come across any like that, though)
anyway, I personally love this character and the execution on the sculpt...so he's a keeper...
Vent through which the water entering the sinkhole passes down to the aquifer. 120 feet below the rim.
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.

This was a SIM inspired by Blade Runner. It was called Devil's Moon.
The Water Reflection on this SIM was amazing!
In order for them to get the look of reflection in water, they had to build the ENTIRE SIM upside down and reverse, underneath the ground. Then make clear spots in the floor so it looked like water reflections. They were ahead of their time in inventiveness!
Devil's Moon was around for YEARS! But sadly it no longer exists.

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.
This here is a devilled chicken that we made before christmas to test out some recipes. And it was yummy! But we decided on a deep fried turkey instead.

Devils Tower (Lakota: Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge”) is a monolithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck located in the Black Hills near Sundance Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres.
