Come with me on a journey through the
Pacific Northwest
Pacific Northwest
South Falls at Silver Falls State Park, Oregon. Silver Falls hosts ten magnificent waterfalls.
Looking North to MT Rainier - from the Mt St. Helens blast zone. The stubbles on the hillsides are all that remains of the majestic evergreen forests that once covered the slopes North of Mt St. Helens.
Running through Central Washington and cutting along the Northern border of Oregon is the pristine Columbia Gorge. This mini grand canyon, etched out by glaciers millions of years ago, is lined by numerous waterfalls and rain forest botanicals.
East from Granite Falls, Washington, we find one of the most amazing wonders of the Cascade Mountains - the Ice Caves. Annually, avalanches and melting ice form this frigid summertime wonder.
7,700 years ago 12,000 foot MT Mazama erupted, spewing 150 times more ash than the 1980 Mt. St.Helens eruption. The eruption was so violent that Mazama emptied its magma chamber. With nothing left to support the mass above, Mazama collapsed upon itself forming the caldera that filled with rain and snow to become Crater Lake in Southern Oregon.
Nine sentinels provide seafarers with navigation along Oregon’s rocky and treacherous coast.
It is always a treat to observe the "Silly Creatures" of the Pacific Northwest caught frolicking in their natural environment.
Some of the most incredible sights along the sandy beaches of the Pacific Northwest are the monolithic basalt sea stacks. These huge rock formations stand fifty, one hundred and nearly two hundred feet tall.
This formation is Haystack Rock and the Needles at Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Haystack Rock and the Needles - home to Tufted Puffins, Pelagic Cormorants, Pigeon Guillemots, Western Gulls, Black Oystercatchers. You will find green, red, brown Diatoms algea at this natural wonder. Giant green anemone, aggregating anemone, nudibranchs/sea slugs, chitons and hermit crabs claim Haystack Rock and Cannon Beach as their home.
