Itinerary description
The 6.3 mile Fort to Sea trail can be started at three different points. Sunset Beach access on Hwy 101 going West to East, Fort Clatsop going East to West or a slightly longer version that starts at Netul Landing a little further down the road from Fort Clatsop.
From East to West (regular distance). Start from Fort Clatsop take the rising gradient trail to the Clatsop Ridge Overlook at 1.5 mile then drop down to the undulating trail under the forest canopy until you reach the overpass bridge after another 2.5 mile at Hwy 101. From there, take the mostly open trail over rolling hills and pasture to the West trail head and parking lot at Sunset Beach entrance. You can then walk another .3 mile to the viewing deck to admire the expansive ocean before you............ Restrooms - at the Fort Clatsop trail head and Sunset Beach trail head.
