Crater Lake in the southern Cascades of Oregon

Almost 2,000 feet deep (594 meters), Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park in south-west Oregon is the deepest lake in the United States, the second deepest lake in the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh deepest in the world.
The lake's surface is six miles wide. There is no inlet or outlet to the lake: it is supplied with water from the great amounts of snow that fall every year. It took ~250 years for the lake to fill to today�s level The lake maintains its current level because the amount of rain and snowfall equals the evaporation and seepage rate. Lake level has varied only over a range of 5 m (16 ft) in the past 100 years.
The startling blue waters of Crater Lake owe their color to the great depth of the crater. And the lake's water is remarkably pure. The U.S. National Park Service describes Crater Lake as the cleanest large body of water in the world.

Paradise for Backpackers - Crater Lake in Crater National Park - Oregon

Mark Daniels, General Superintendent of the National Parks, remarked of Crater Lake:
'The sight of it fills one with more conflicting emotions than any other scene with which I am familiar. It is at once weird, fascinating, enchanting, repellent, of exquisite beauty and at times terrifying in its austere-dignity and oppressing stillness.'
My first glimpse of the blueness of Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park south-west Oregon took my breath away. The sapphire-blue lake is so clear that sunlight penetrates the water to a depth of 400 feet. It is both, the clearest and deepest lake in the United States � and the seventh deepest in the world.
The cobalt-blue water of Crater Lake reflects its pristine character. It is the type of place you have to visit at least once in your life time. Its purity, tranquility, and hauntingly translucent color has long attracted artists, photographers, and nature aficionados.
It only takes one visit for the stunning view to stay in your heart and mind forever.

Bristlecone Pine tree on the rim of Crater Lake - Oregon

One of the slow growing pine tree species is the Bristlecone pine. Under normal conditions Bristlecone Pines get 300-400 years old and have adjusted to places that no other tree wants to inhabit.
Here on Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, southwest Oregon, intense sun, extremely arid conditions, high winds and winter exposure wear away at the bark of bristlecone pines, leaving striations along their exterior. However, a small amount of living bark is all that is necessary to sustain a mature bristlecone pine tree into extreme old age.
Bristlecone pine trees, in their lonely endurance and dignity, teach us the deep meaning of the eternal dance of life and death.

Three Arch Rocks - Oceanside near Cape Meares - Oregon

Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge was the first National Wildlife Refuge west of the Mississippi River. The refuge has provides protection for Oregon's largest seabird nesting colony of more 230,000 birds.
The refuge was established thanks to the efforts of conservationists William L. Finley and Herman Bohlman. In the early 1900�s they witnessed and photographed hunters killing dozens of sea lions at a time for skin and oil, and sportsmen shooting thousands of birds on the island just for the fun of it. Even worse, due to a scarcity of regional chicken farms at the time, seabird eggs were priced at up to a dollar per dozen, encouraging egg harvesting, which drastically reduced the bird colony population.
In 1903 the pair brought the photos and their findings to then President Theodore Rosevelt, and on October 14 1907 The Wildlife Refuge was created to protect dwindling seabird and marine mammal populations and ensure their survival.

Point Vicente Lighthouse on the cliffs of Palos Verdes California

Standing on the most southwesterly point of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Los Angeles, Point Vicente Lighthouse has long been one of this area's jewels. To the landsman, the lighthouse is a scenic delight and a continual attraction to sightseers, photographers and painters. To the mariner, the lighthouse is an aid to navigation which marks the northern end of the Catalina Channel on the Pacific coast. Before the installation of the Point Vincente Light on May 1,1926, many ships and seamen went to their graves on this disastrous, rocky stretch of southern California's Pacific coast.
During World War II the Coast Artillery men didn't want Point Vicente's light to be too good of an aid to enemy navigation. The 1000 watt light was replaced by a tiny 25 watt bulb, and black out curtains hung ready for use in all the windows. After the war, when the light was returned to its normal power, the endlessly rotating beam became a glaring disturbance to local residents and a hazard to motorists on Palos Verdes Drive.
Keepers coated the inside of the inland facing windows with a coat of opaque, pearly white paint to end the flash of the beacon on peninsula bedroom walls.
That's when the "Lady Of The Light" appeared. In the dim light through the painted windows, some saw the shape of a tall serene woman in a flowing gown who would slowly pace the tower's walkway. In 1955, a thicker coat of paint ended the spirit's nightly romp around the tower, and the ghost has not been seen officially since.
Today Point Vicence Light Station still sends out it's beacon across the Catalina Channel. It is one of the biggest and brightest lights along the California coast.

Point Fermin Light - San Pedro - Southern California

Its rugged Monterey-style bluffs, its 1874 lighthouse, its backdrop of cliffs and surf, with pelicans soaring overhead, its vistas, its charismatic winds, the 1974 movie "Chinatown" and many other films have made San Pedro's Point Fermin in southern California a popular location known worldwide.
Restored to its original configuration, Point Fermin Lighthouse is built in a variant of the Queen Anne architectural style known as Stick Style. This style was used for six American lighthouses built between 1873 and 1874, of which only two others are still standing. It sits literally at the southernmost tip of Los Angeles at the southern end of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Point Fermin Lighthouse overlooks a picturesque stretch of coastline. The view from the tower is one of the finest obtainable on this section of California's southern coast. Southwestards, as far as the eye can see, is the limitless stretch of blue ocean, sparkling and scintillating in the golden sunshine like a liquid sapphire encrusted with diamonds, and the tender turquoise of the sky blends into the deeper blue of the sea in a faint, filmy mist. Out toward the southwest lies Catalina, the gray-blue peaks to the little island standing out softly against the sky. Turning in the direction of San Pedro Harbor, and following the curving shore line, white in the distance, the cottages of Terminal Island, Long Beach and Alamitos can be plainly seen, nestling confidingly along the bluff. In the middle distance you catch a glimpse of the San Pedro breakwater, reaching out of Deadman's Island as if to soften its dreary desolation and to link it to the shore. To the west is the long, broken shore line, with its sharp, rocky points projecting into the sea, while to the east Sentinel Rock stands 30 feet high and 30 feet from the cliff.

The Light At Piedras Blancas - San Simeon, California

The Piedras Blancas Light Station (PBLS) at the southern end of Big Sur, just to the north of San Simeon on Highway One, CA has a very interesting history. The land on which it is built once belonged to indigenous peoples. A visit to the light house takes one back to a time when life on the coast was simple and rough. Over the past 135 years, battered by wind and weather, Piedras Blancas Light has borne silent witness to many calamities including shipwrecks, wartime submarine attacks and earthquakes.
The towering Piedras Blancas Light Station is a great place to gaze out onto the vast Pacific Ocean. The views are stunning. Bring layers of clothing and a baseball hat or ski cap, even if it's sunny, as the winds can be wicked on the point where the lighthouse is located.
The The Piedras Blancas area acts as a preserve for local flora and fauna. Bring a good pair of binoculars so you can see the nesting Peregrine Falcon nest nearby, the countless Pelagic and Brandt's Comorants, and numerous marine mammals including California sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, northern fur seals and northern elephant seals - some 15,000 of these mammoth animals come ashore here.

Point Pinos Light - Lighthouse on the golf course - Pacific Grove Monterey, Central CA

Point Pinos Light, on the Pacific coast of central California. was built in 1855 to guide ships through the dangerous southern entrance of the Monterey Bay. The name Punta de los Pinos translated to 'Point of the Pines', is an appropriate designation for the thickly wooded northern tip of the Monterey Peninsula where the pines grew almost to the water's edge.
Often spelled Point Piños, Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest continuously-operating lightstation on the West Coast of the United States and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Even the lens is original. Its first lightkeeper, Charles Layton, was killed in 1856 while serving as a member of the sheriff's posse chasing the notorious outlaw, Anastacio Garcia.
In early Pacific Grove days Point Pinos Lighthouse was more than an aid to navigation; it was a social hub. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote of visiting lightkeeper Allen Luce in 1879 in 'The Old Pacific Capital', and Mrs. Emily Fish, Point Pinos's most famous lightkeeper, was nicknamed "The Socialite Lightkeeper" for the many parties and dinners she held at the building.

Mark Abbot Memorial Lighthouse - Lighthouse on the beach - Santa Cruz, CA, USA

This portion of the California Coastal National Monument is part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
Named for a surfer who died here in 1965, Mark Abbott Memorial lighthouse stands at Point Santa Cruz, the cliff's major promontory. The Santa Cruz Surfing Museum is here, in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse, and just off the point, geography and ocean waves conjoin to create the waves at Steamer Lane that Santa Cruz is famous for.
Santa Cruz beaches can be foggy in early summer, sometimes all day long. So if you go to Lighthouse Field and Mark Abbot Memorial Light expecting to watch the surfers at Steamer Lane (near the surfer statue), you could be disappointed. Some days, the water at this internationally renowned surfing hotspot can be calmer than your bathtub.

Wacky Weather at Point Arena Lighthouse - California

The weather on the Northern Coast of California is pretty eccentric. It could be a wild storm, balmy sunny day or a combination of both with some of that famous fog thrown in the mix as well. If you have never experienced a storm on the Pacific Coast, you are missing one of life�s great experiences. Imagine towering Redwoods and Fir trees bending in the wind, the look and sound of huge waves pounding the coasts and then ...
a rainbow.
Not just the weather is a real challenge for Point Arena Lighthouse but also its location. In April of 1906, the devastating Great Quake struck Point Arena's Lighthouse tower. The earthquake occurred along the San Andreas Fault, which parallels the coastline 3.5 miles from Point Arena. Shock waves raced across the landscape to the Light Station, damaging the lighthouse and keepers quarters beyond repair. The new current tower was a new concept in lighthouse construction. It was the first to use iron reinforcement rods in concrete. It began operation in September of 1908.
At 115 feet, Point Arena Light is the tallest in California. The smokestack-like silhouette (single diameter bottom to top) makes it unique. Climb the 145-step ascent of the spiral staircase to the tower top. You will be rewarded with unbroken panoramic views of California's Pacific coastline and its bucolic countryside.

Point Cabrillo Light Station - Mendocino, CA

The Point Cabrillo Lighthouse in northern California cast its light over the craggy cliffs of the Mendocino coast for the first time in June 1909, and the still-working lighthouse has been carefully restored as part of the Point Cabrillo Light Station.
Now a state historic site, the light station welcomes day visitors. Tour the restored lighthouse, the Lightkeeper's Home and Museum, and visit the native Pomo Indians exhibit at the Farmhouse Visitor Center.
And after the day trippers leave, you have 300 acres of nature preserve all to yourself. Watch the boats and passing whales and dolphins, dazzling sunsets and then a starry sky with no city lights to interfere.

Tides of Battery Point Lighthouse - Northern CA

In May of 1855, Congress appropriated $15,000 for the construction of a lighthouse on an islet, which is connected to Battery Point (near Crescent City, northern California, United States) by an isthmus at low tide. It was one of the first lighthouses on the California coast.
With its exposed location atop a rocky mound, the lighthouse was often battered by storms. In 1964, it survived a tsunami caused by the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the northern hemisphere with a moment magnitude of 9.2. A series of waves generated by the earthquake raced south at a speed of nearly 600 m.p.h. and reached Crescent City around midnight with crests of up to twenty feet. Although Battery Point lighthouse survived the ordeal intact, the following year the modern beacon that replaced the Fresnel lens in the tower was switched off.
Today Battery Point Lighthouse operates as a private aid to navigation, and as a Museum. It is a very interesting and lovely area to visit; but be sure to walk across the isthmus at low tide, which is when it is very foggy, or you won't be able to get to or from the Island.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse - Newport, OR

Newport, Oregon which sits at the mouth of the Yaquina River, has two lighthouses. Yaquina Head Lighthouse is on the north side of the opening for Newport Bay and Yaquina Bay Lighthouse is on the south side.
Yaquina Head is a prominant headland projecting a little more than a kilometer into the Pacific. The full name of this beautiful place is 'Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area', the hightlight, of course, being the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, also known as Cape Foulweather Lighthouse. It took approximately one year, and over 370,000 bricks from San Francisco, to construct Yaquina Head Light, Oregons tallest lighthouse, which stands at an impressive 93 feet, with 110 steps for the determined visitor to conquer.
The lighthouse emits its own unique lighting pattern, 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, 2 seconds on, 14 seconds off, 24 hours a day.
In 2002 Yaquina Head Light was used as the setting for the "Moesko Island Lighthouse" in the scary film 'The Ring'. It also appeared in 'Dead Man's Curve' (1998), 'Hysterical' (1983) and Nancy Drew: 'Pirates Cove' (1977).

Yaquina Lighthouses - Yaquina Head Lighthouse Western Oregon

The Yaquina Head Lighthouse, also known as the Cape Foulweather Lighthouse, is a lighthouse near Newport on the Oregon Coast of the United States near the mouth of the Yaquina River at Yaquina Head.
Yaquina Head Light stands 162 feet above sea level; its 93-foot-high tower is the tallest on the Oregon coast. It is the only lighthouse in the state in which the living quarters are housed in the same building as the light. Only a few of this type were built on the entire Pacific Coast. And it is the only Oregon Lighthouse with a marble floor. It still uses its original 1868 French-made Fixed Fresnel lens; visible 19 miles (31 km) out to sea.
The Yaquina Head Lighthouse is beautiful, and the views from the top are spectacular. But don't stop with the lighthouse. On the way to or from the light, take one of the trails down to the water, where you will find a unique cobble beach, and fascinating tidepools with colorful starfish and anemones, crabs and mussels, seals sunning themselves on rocks just a stone's throw from where you are. And if you are lucky, you might even spot a whale or massive golden eagles with binoculars.

Yaquina Lighthouses - Yaquina Bay Lighthouse Oregon

'Situated at Yaquina, is an old deserted lighthouse. Its weather-beaten walls are wrapped in mystery. On an afternoon when the fog comes drifting in, it is the loneliest place in the world.'
So begins Lischen Miller's tale, 'The Haunted Lighthouse,' published in an 1899 issue of Pacific Monthly.
The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, a charming two-story clapboard structure, is located on a hill overlooking the northern side of the entrance to Yaquina Bay. It was deserted a mere three years after its light was first lit in 1871, and ever since has been the scene for many a ghostly tale.
Today Yaquina Bay Light is in excellent condition and furnished with period pieces. If you take a tour, you will most likely hear a ghost tale or two.

Oregon's Seacoast Lighthouses - Yaquina Bay Lighthouse - Old and New

Yaquina Bay State Park is located in Newport at the north end of Yaquina Bay near its outlet to the Pacific Ocean. The bluff is forested with spruce and pine, but the real star is the Historic Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, built in 1871. This piece of Oregon's history sits atop a bluff at the mouth of the Yaquina River.
Yaquina Bay Light is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is the only existing Oregon lighthouse with the living quarters attached, and the only historic wooden Oregon lighthouse still standing.
On December 7, 1996 Yaquina Bay Lightstation was officially restored as a privately maintained aid to navigation.
