Mini Gawp #2
The Oregon Coast is famous for the Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach. It's pretty easy to look at the rock and see how it got its name. Of course--and no disrespect intended--it could've been called Lump Rock and no one would've said: "Hmmm, I don't get it."
It's an impressive chunk of stone, no doubt, but nowhere half as cool as Face Rock on the southern coast. Dina and I stopped in at the state park to stretch our legs back when we used to road trip and were astounded at the sight of the woman's face offshore.
It's best appreciated in person (it was really hard to find a photo online that came close to capturing it properly) and nearly as hypnotic as the Whiskeytown Reservoir glory hole. Not quite, but a close second.
If you're ever in the neighborhood, check it out.
