The Chapter Challenge for 2025 "Coast to Ghosts" consists of two sections, the coastal route and the ghost town central Oregon route. The coastal route's most Northern stop is just south of Astoria and runs along the coast to Port Orford (40 miles south of Coos Bay). Round trip for this leg is approx. 850 miles from Volcano Harley Davidson.
You can view the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse from Ecola State Park – This is one of the best vantage points. From the cliffs and viewpoints within the park, you can get a clear view of the lighthouse in the distance. The scenic overlooks near Indian Beach are particularly popular.
Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint – The most direct and best place to see Cape Meares is from the Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint, where you can also visit the Cape Meares Lighthouse. The cliffs offer stunning panoramic views of the coastline, the ocean, and offshore sea stacks.
You can see Yaquina Head from several great vantage points along the Oregon Coast, especially near Newport, Oregon. The best best and closest view is from the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area.
Heceta Head and its famous lighthouse from several great viewpoints along the Oregon Coast, particularly near Florence, Oregon. The best and closest view is from the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint, located just off Highway 101. You can park near Devil’s Elbow Beach
The Coquille River Lighthouse is viewable from several locations near Bandon, Oregon.
The "Ghost Town" section of this challenge takes through some of Oregon's best two-lane, scenic roads through the north-central high deserts. Ghost towns include Shaniko, Fossil and the Sumpter Dredge. The Sumpter Dredge is worth the ride just for the tour and history.
