Itinerary description
Head out South from Seaside approximately 23 miles on a great coastal drive down 101 with excellent views and scenery. Drop your bike off at the parking area where you will see a sign on the East side of 101 that says "Oregon Coast Trail. Restrooms - Oswald State Park parking lot on Hwy 101 about 2 mile North from the North trail head......
Between mile post 41 and 42 you will see the sign for Neahkahnie Mountain. You can park at the side of 101 on the East side of the road or at the trail head. I prefer the 101 parking as it gives a little time to warm up into the hike and the road is easier on your vehicle. The route is relatively straight forward with a series of zig-zags followed by a straight trail towards the peak. On a good day views from the peak are outstanding. Follow the trail to the North end. The trail appears to go in a North Easterly direction at one stage, just stay on the obvious trail and it will descend back down to 101 and the ocean. Ride your bike back around the highway (not for children) to the South end and your vehicle. The North end trail head sign says "Oregon Coast Trail" and not Neahkahnie Mountain.............
