Took a quick road trip out to the Pacific Northwest states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Stopped at a few parks including Crater Lake, Mount St Helens, and Mount Rainier with lots of geology stops.

Cape Meares

I could see the Arch rocks - three sea arches - as I approached the lighthouse.  Of course I enjoyed looking at them, but the lighthouse was nice too.  When I first arrived, there was a couple standing on the overlook with telescopes set up.  They were looking for rare birds that were nesting in the area.  The nests blend in with the surrounding rock, making them hard to find.  I didn't go in the lighthouse, just walked around a little, enjoying the views.
