South Oregon Trip (Sea Lion Caves, Dunes, Tree House, Redwood forest)

 

This is February of 2010. We had a really cool trip to South Oregon during our mid-winter break. We went to Sea Lion Caves, Oregon Sand Dunes, stayed in real Tree houses close to the California border and finally Redwood National Park. We have done this loop almost 10 years back with a different group of friends. Now we did it with our friends Ravi-Lavanya, Vidhu, Rajavel-Priya, Raghu-Guna and Dilip-Vidya. The highlights of the trip in the sequence we did it:

Sea Lion Caves: We stayed at a resort right on the ocean. Fantastic view. The location of caves itself is high above the ocean with an incredible view. I could not get a great set of pics of the Sea Lions - but seeing hundreds of them was pretty cool.

bullet

Oregon Sand Dunes: The largest stretch of Sand Dunes in the country. Miles and miles of sand dunes, each hundreds of feet tall. We rode it in a large "Dune Buggy" which was like an open bus. Lot of fun. Everyone loved it. I have also done this a few years back taking individual buggies which is even more fun and adventurous and I would advise people to do that too if they get a chance.

Out 'N About Tree Houses: A scenic place near the California border where they have a farm converted to a resort with real Tree Houses which we can rent and stay in. Not the most comfortable place to stay but a lot fun and definitely an unique experience.

bullet

Redwood National Park: The most massive trees you will ever see. Some of the country's oldest, tallest and biggest trees are in this forest. You will feel humbled by nature when you visit this place.
