Siuslaw National Forest
National Forest · Corvallis, Oregon
Some 630,000 acres of the Oregon Coast Range and the coast itself, from Tillamook down to Coos Bay, and the only national forest in the country that runs from rainforest ridges straight onto open ocean sand. It contains the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Cape Perpetua, the Sitka spruce headlands of the central coast and Marys Peak, the highest point in the Coast Range. It is wet, green, close to the highway and much less visited than the Cascades forests inland.
