The best shots from Robin McKie’s journey through the north-west passage

I shot this at Indian Beach, Ecola Park, just north of the town of Cannon Beach. If you ever on the Northern Oregon coast, I highly recommend visiting the park. The beaches are great, but don't miss the trails! There is almost 8 miles of trails running along the coast, often bringing out to vistas over looking the beach with 200 foot cliffs, old growth forest, etc. Simply spectacular.
