Hiking Checklist - Oregon Coast
Black bears can be found up and down the Oregon Coast, but hiking with or without bear spray is truly up to your own discretion and comfort level when adventuring in black bear territory.
Furthermore, here is a complete list of must-have things that you will want for any hike on the Oregon Coast.
Hiking the Sisters Rock Trail
The Sisters Rock Trail is an entirely downhill hike, but the elevation change is only about 200 ft. (61 m) over a half-mile.
About half way down to the beach, the views to the south start to really open up.
Sister Rocks
Once near the Sister Rocks, you can explore the beaches on either side of the small peninsula or scramble up one of the rocks.
Warning
Yes, both Sister Rocks can be climbed, but the North Sister is significantly more challenging going both up and down than the south.
Do not attempt either unless you are comfortable climbing/ scrambling on either rock.
