Cannon Beach, Oregon
Haystack Rock is a 235-foot (72-meter) sea stack in Cannon Beach, Oregon. It is sometimes claimed locally to be the third-tallest such "intertidal" (meaning it can be reached by land) structure in the world, but there are no official references to support this.
A popular tourist destination, the monolithic rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot at low tide. The Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including starfish, sea anemone, crabs, chitons, limpets, and sea slugs. The rock is also a nesting site for many sea birds, including terns and puffins.

Pacific City to Newport. 50 miles with one grueling painful climb due to a missed turn. But a wonderful sunny day otherwise.
Cannon Beach is recognized by its well-known landmark, Haystack Rock, located southwest of downtown Cannon Beach, near Tolovana Park. This igneous rock has an elevation of 235 feet (72 m) and is often accessible at low tide, especially in the summertime. There is a small cave system that penetrates the rock and can be seen from the coastline. The rock is also protected as a marine sanctuary, Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and events are not allowed within 100 feet (30 m) of either side of the rock. Near Haystack Rock are the Needles, two tall rocks rising straight out of the water.
A huge local landmark for years on the west side of US 287 between Bellvue and Livermore Colorado.
The "JKM Bama Bound" was painted by the niece and nephew of an older gentleman who was moving from Wyoming to Alabama. Per his son's Instagram he moved October 14th. We had to google the story behind it since we are from Alabama!
The large expanse of sand exposed by low tide, in front of Haystack Rock. Carmen and I got a few shots in before a red truck drove through and stopped in the middle. (It was the naturalist with the monoculars that we looked through later on.)
