🌲 The Breathtaking Central Pacific Northwest Coastal Forests

Stretching from the southern Oregon coast to the Alaska border, this ecoregion is home to some of the most magnificent temperate rainforests on Earth. Towering conifers like Douglas-fir, western hemlock, red cedar, and Sitka spruce thrive in the cool, misty air rolling in from the Pacific. These ancient forests shelter a rich diversity of life, from epiphytes and fungi to amphibians and birds.

Shaped by heavy rainfall, fog, and mild temperatures, this landscape is a mosaic of sea stacks, tide pools, salt marshes, and dense forests. Winters bring the most rain, up to 5,000mm in some areas, while summers are drier, especially in the south. These forests are not just breathtaking; they are essential for biodiversity and the health of our planet.

A hidden gem in the dense coastal forests of southwest Oregon, Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area may be hard to find, but it’s well worth the 24-mile drive from Highway 101. The final 3-miles narrow to a one lane gravel road. The small parking and picnic area are located along the banks of Glenn and Silver Creeks and is shaded by large maple, alder, and Oregon myrtle trees. Hiking trails wind through scenic canyons to each of the waterfalls that plunge over sheer rock cliffs to moss covered boulders 100 feet below.Hike 1.4 miles to the top of Golden Falls to get an eagle’s-eye view of the cascading waterfall and giant old-growth firs and cedars.

Bob Eder claims waiting is the hardest. “You get used to a little anxiety before the season starts,” he said. Bob didn’t intend a career as a crab fisherman. As a college student “without direction” in his early 20’s, he was a writer and a published poet with four different majors. His appetite for commercial fishing was whetted by some friends that got summer jobs in Alaska fisheries.

Bob’s first job was in Port Orford on a small vessel; however, he took the job with writing in mind. “I knew that experience would be a good source of things to write about,” he said. “Long story short, I got ‘swallowed by my subject.’”

Paquita & Zarate’s
Lincoln City�1962-1968
�Myrtle Watkins, aka “Paquita,” was a Black jazz singer from Alabama who toured the world in the ‘20s and ’30s. In 1939, she fell in love and formed a musical duo with Samuel Zarate, a Mexican musician. Paquita and Zarate moved to Oregon and in 1957 became the house act for a Depoe Bay hotel. In 1962 they bought a home in Lincoln Beach and sold candy, ice cream, seashells, and driftwood from a roadside stand shaped like a covered wagon complete with two life-sized cement oxen.
