Neahkahnie Mountain
A peak over 500 m tall rising straight from the sea. Its summit overlooks Manzanita Beach and Nehalem Bay, making it one of the North Coast's best lookouts.
Neahkahnie Mountain stands about 494 m tall, rising directly from the Pacific. The southern trail is roughly 4.8 km round trip, with about 270 m of elevation gain. It switchbacks through the forest to rocky outcrops at the summit, from which you can take in the long beach of Manzanita, Nehalem Bay and the distant coastline. Local legend says Spanish shipwreck treasure is buried in the mountain. The summit rocks have steep drops, and visibility is poor on foggy days, so it is best to set out on a clear morning. Free.
