My Epic Adventure: Taking the bus to Cannon Beach for a weekend

A trip to the Oregon coast is almost always a magical experience. Oregon’s Cannon Beach is one of the closest coastal towns to Portland. With cute shops and boutiques, a great selection of restaurants and of course, Haystack Rock, there is good reason why so many people choose to spend a day trip or weekend there. What could possibly sweeten the deal, you ask? Not having to drive.
On this week’s Peak Northwest podcast, we get into our second episode of our new sub-series, My Epic Adventure, with The Oregonian/OregonLive’s life and culture reporter, Lizzy Acker, as she recounts her most recent trip to Cannon Beach. Lizzy traveled entirely by bus to the coast with her three-year-old daughter.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

Lizzy breaks down the logistics of the two-bus trip.

How to keep kids entertained on the bus.

Restaurant and lodging recommendations from Lizzy.

Exploring the beach at night with clear skies makes for great stargazing.

We hear from Lizzy’s daughter herself on her takeaways from the trip.
