Tillamook
Head has hiking trails throughout it, which are accessible from both the
Seaside and the Cannon Beach sides (it's a 6-mile hike either way, however.)
This is highly recommended for exploration with numerous breathtaking
views to be found on this cliff structure, and in such places there are
always hidden spots in the brush and forest. Indeed, there are the remnants
of an old army bunker in the brush at some point along this magnificent
trail.
The
Seaside end has the nastiest incline.
Until a few years
ago, the trailhead parking lot provided some stunning views of the ocean
and of Seaside's beach slowly changing in landscape from loose sand to
rocky shore. That view, pictured here, is no longer available since a
grouping of condos were built in that spot.
