Cape Blanco, OR

Cape Blanco is a cold and wind-battered cliff that juts into the Pacific Ocean. Washington state's Cape Alava is technically the westernmost point in the Lower 48, but Cape Blanco is not far behind, and it's more convenient to visit. It's also the westernmost point in Oregon. The State Park features the clifftop 1870 lighthouse, a visitor center, hiking trails, and the Hughes House: a restored 1898 Victorian farmhouse built for pioneers Patrick and Jane Hughes.
