If you live around the Pacific Northwest, or have visited, then you probably know about Tillamook Head.  You can take the trail all the way from Seaside to the Indian Beach trailhead in Ecola State Park near Cannon Beach, Oregon.  It’s a 6.3 mile journey, but very scenic.  In addition, there’s four accommodating hiker’s cabins with bunks along the way.  You can also pitch a tent there.  There are restrooms, and firewood should be available for purchase.  If you are planning on spending the night, bring layers, and plenty of gear.  It gets cold fast.  You don’t want to get caught in the woods with just an emergency blanket.  Also, BEWARE of mice in the cabins!  For real.  They want your food.

Relaxing and Sunning in Seaside Oregon

Nothing beats a walk on the beach in the morning to get the blood flowing. I also enjoy biking, hiking, and yoga! There’s a million ways to deal with stress. What do you do to relax??? Produced by Cameron McKirdy

Do you know where The Mill Ponds are in Seaside Oregon? Many locals have no idea. Take advantage of the trails, and waterfront views. From Seaside on Highway 101 (aka South Roosevelt Drive), take Ave. S to Alder Mill Road. It’s near the Seaside recycling center.

Watch my bike ride video!

The Mill Ponds are a great walk for the whole family. Chill on a bench and bird watch. It’s one of my favorite spots in town. Please be respectful, and take your trash with you. This is a day use only park. Enjoy the panoramas and photos I took.

On the 4th of July, two buddies and I ditched tourist infested Seaside, and dipped the Cadillac to Saddle Mt. We had all our essential gear including: headlamps, flashlights, first aid, extra water, etc., plus double chocolate brownies for the climb. It’s only 2.5 miles from the parking lot to the top. However, it is a difficult trail. It’s steap, and rocky. It’s worth the trip though to see all the vibrant wildflowers, and the Pacific Ocean coastline. I snapped pictures; as seen in previous posts. All in all, Survival Bros had a blast, and got to test the gear. It’s an awesome experience. You gotta hike this mountain. Check back here daily for more adventures and survival information. Peace and love.
