There are two “Haystack Rock”s in Oregon. The famous one is in Cannon Beach, Oregon … but it is about 1/3 the size of the Haystack Rock at Pacific City. Of course, the one in Cannon Beach is on the beach – the one at Pacific City/Cape Kiwanda is well out to sea, thus most visitors don’t realize just how massive it is.
For me, this is home…
