It is hard to say what part of this Road Scholar trip was the best. The Oregon Coast is amazing as is Crater Lake and the Redwoods. There is something so special about the ocean when it comes into contact with rocks and dunes and cliffs and trees and mountains. The lighthouses and bridges and harbors and sunsets come to mind as well.
We got to enjoy seeing many miles of the Coast including two lighthouses: The Yaquina Head Lighthouse and The Heceta Head Lighthouse.
The coast has a special beauty created long, long ago by the beastly action of tectonic plates moving ever so slowly toward each other.
