Devil's Punch Bowl

Distance: <1 mile
I must begin by mentioning that this "hike" doesn't involve a trail. Yes, there may be a distinguished path leading from the parking area, but that path leads to a beach. Once there, you may proceed as you see fit... Or, you may drive straight to the overlooking Devil's Punch Bowl viewpoint, which requires zero hiking.

To find the beach, head south on Hwy 101 from Lincoln City for about 16 miles before taking a right at Otter Crest Loop Road. The road is between the cities of Depo Bay and Newport. From here, take the split left to Devil's Punch Bowl viewpoint. Just follow signs from here. Beach access can be found by taking a right on Sea Crest Dr and following the road to it's end.

Rattlesnake Ledge

Distance: 4 miles round trip
Rattlesnake Ledge is a very popular destination from the Seattle metropolitan area. Located 34 miles from downtown, it's just far enough to escape the city, but not too far. Just head East on I-90 out of Seattle until you reach the North Bend/Snoqualmie Pass area.  Take exit 32 and follow Cedar Creek Rd south until you reach the parking lot. It's not your typical trailhead parking lot - this one accommodates a high volume of visitors.
