Location  Tahkenitch Creek Hike

Where:  Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area

 

 For a guy that likes to hike, taking three of his grandsons hiking is just about as good as it gets. I did have to kind of trick them into going along with the idea by saying that we would be going to a 'secret place'. The 'secret place' is a site that clicked in Jeanette and my minds a few weeks ago as the perfect destination to bring our grandsons to play in the water and the sand with only a short walk or hike.

The ever-changing sand has created towing sand dunes, perfect for climbing up and then sliding down into Tahkenitch Creek.

Tahkenitch Creek at this point is just the right size for youngsters and dogs to play in.
