Spyglass Ridge Open Space

A few days ago, I realized that there was a brand new eBird Hotspot in Lincoln City, Spyglass Ridge Open Space. A trip to explore this park fit really well with our desire to escape the 100+degree heat forecasted in the Willamette Valley. After all, Lincoln City is only an hour from our home in Dallas, and the coastal forecast was for much cooler temperatures. We are spoiled because with our camper van it's so easy to take off for a couple of days without much effort.  

We had never been to Spyglass Ridge before, and we were not disappointed.  We love an adventure, and this place is well hidden and takes some effort to find. Hopefully you can download a map from the Q code below, because a map is really important in finding your way on these unmarked trails.

 

The beauty of the deep forest held us in awe. 

Using the Merlin Bird Identification app was helpful in identifying birds hidden in the high canopy. Here is our eBird Observation List.
