After spending some time around the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood, we set off for the beautiful Oregon Coast. Our first stop was at a really cool little place called Sea Lion Caves. Because of the sheer drops in this area, the only way to access this cave is through a gift shop elevator that takes you down 300 ft to sea level, at which point you get a great view into this secret world, one of the largest sea caves in the world. Many times this cave is filled with hundreds of stellars sea lions. In this photo there are only 5, but it was still a very cool place to visit. It's a very commercial spot, but worth the price of admission to see such an amazing natural wonder.
