Though this is not an endless pit into the ocean, researchers believe that it was once a sea cave formed by the waves and, eventually the roof collapsed. Although a wonderous phenomenon that looks like the ocean is endlessly draining into the pit, it is still very dangerous. Visit an hour before high tide to see it both before and after the sea fills it up. Watch for SNEAKER WAVES…violent surges of water that can appear small, but they will knock you down you and pull you out to sea!
Thor's Well | Yachats, OR
A super charming Bavarian town nestled in the North Cascades. Anytime of year is a good time to visit Leavenworth! Hiking, swimming, camping or staying at one of many lodges in the summer is a fun and relaxing getaway. Come in the fall for Oktoberfest, the first 3 weekends in Oktober. Join in the crazy hat festivities and pick one out from Wood Shop Hat Shop, get your lederhosen and brats and kick back in the beer garden! The brilliant fall foliage and festivities are a favorite of many! If Christmas is your jam, then you don't want to miss the annual Christmas tree lighting. The entire town participates in decorating, specials, shopping and a parade followed by a countdown to the entire town lighting up with spectacular Christmas lights! Magical!
