Heceta Head Lighthouse  Is located about 12 miles north of Florence, OR.   It is claimed to be the most visited Lighthouse in the US.   The 56 foot tower sits on a 205 foot bluff overlooking the Pacific.


Traveling north on US 101, this is the first view of the lighthouse.


A little closer view....with the zoom lens


There is a 1/2 mile trail up to the Lighthouse.  This is the first view from the trail.


About halfway up the trail you come upon the Light keepers quarters.  It is now a Bread and Breakfast.   The entrance is by a private road off the highway.
