2025 Chapter Challenge

The Chapter Challenge for 2025 "Coast to Ghosts" consists of two sections, the coastal route and the ghost town central Oregon route.

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.
