Description:
The Siuslaw National Forest is located in the coast mountain range of Oregon and is one of the two forests in the continental United States bordering the Pacific Ocean. Thick Douglas fir forests contrast sharply with miles of open sand dunes, beaches, and freshwater lakes. Coastal weather is characterized by continually changing moods; a winter day may bring a violent rain storm yet the following day may be clear, calm, and sunny. Summer fog is common and temperatures remain mild year-round. The Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area are the main scenic attractions on the Coast; while the inland area of the Forest, which includes three wilderness areas, offers additional scenic and recreational opportunities to Forest visitors.
