Album Info:

The cliffs of Cape Blanco are visible in the distance, about 6 miles away, from the north side of The Heads. This is an impressive land mass over 200 feet high. The Cape is considered a Pleistocene terrace that overlies tertiary sandstone and conglomerate. The place where the cliff color changes from light to dark marks a fault line of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. So the neck of the cape has older beds of Eocene rock (58 - 34 million years old) with thin-bedded mudstone and and graywacke sandstone (sandstone with imputities) strata. Notice the tall pinnacle along the shore to the right of the light-colored cliffs, which is over 100 feet tall! We’ll go there after a few more stops and photos. (dsc_5165ncs)

  • It doesn't seem to be this high, that's quite a drop

  • That's the lighthouse in the center of the photo, right? I didn't realize it was so far back from the edge...
