SUMMARY:Whale Watching at Elk Flats
DESCRIPTION:To round-out Oregon’s whale watching week\, we’re gather at Elk Flats to check out these magical creatures as they migrate!\n\n\nNorth Coast Land Conservancy (NCLC) and Tillamook Estuaries Partnership (TEP) invite you to join us on Saturday\, March 29th from 9am-10:30am to get a glimpse at the Spring gray whale norhtbound migration! We will begin our hike at Elk Flats Trail\, off of Highway 101 and take the trail out to “Devil’s Cauldron” \n \nThe hike out and back is approximately 1 mile and there is an elevation gain of 300 feet. The trail is often bursting with plant life so wearing long-sleeve clothing and sturdy shoes is recommended. Pictures will be posted to the Explore Nature Know Before You Go resource page so you can properly prepare for the conditions of this trail. \n \nThe parking lot is an unassuming gravel lot just south of the Short Sand beach parking lots. We recommend arriving early to secure parking and if you are planning to meet people there\, to park in the southern Short Sand beach parking lot (where bathrooms are located) and carpooling to the Elk Flats trailhead. \n \nDuring this event\, we will be using scopes and binoculars to look for whales and the abundance of other life that exists in the waters and among the trees. NCLC and TEP staff will speak to our work in the region and the importance of whales for our climate and the marine ecosystems. We can’t wait for you to join us during Oregon’s Whale Watch week!

It is not guaranteed that we will catch enough crabs for this. But a yearly shellfish permit for OR residents is 10$ and 30$ for non-residents and would be good until the end of 2024 if you would like to purchase one just in case permits can be obtained online from ODFW\, please do so before class\, and should be available on the app on your phone for easy access incase needed. \n \nAccessibility Level: We will be walking on a boardwalk over the TIllamook Bay.
