r/PacificNorthwest

Usually when I go to Oregon, it’s always to Portland. This is my first time driving along the pacific northwest highway, and i’m really excited. Just trying to fill my days with cool things to do or see, and yummy places to eat. While I would really love to hike, I feel very nervous to do it on my own, so probably won’t be doing much this trip.

I just need relaxing, quiet and calm vibes. Ultimately, my main goals are to branch out on my own to gain some independence after a rough year, and to just be by the ocean every day with some other activities mixed in. On one of my cannon beach days, I do plan on driving over to Portland to do some shopping/thrifting and sweet treat spots.

I’ll be driving through Mendocino and The Redwoods and stopping near Eureka, then have two nights in Newport (was planning to do one night, but had to make it for two), and then 3 nights in Cannon Beach.

Any recommendations?? Please and thank you!
