Cape Sebastian State Scenic Corridor
Cape Sebastian ... the very name
invokes images of early Spanish explorers and long journeys.
The cape was named in honor of Saint Sebastian in 1603 by the
Spanish navigator Sebastian Vizcaino. The most striking
features of this park are its two parking vistas. The parking
lots are over 200 feet above sea level. At the south parking
vista, you can see up to 43 miles to the north with Humbug
Mountain filling the view. Looking south, you can see nearly
50 miles toward Crescent City, California and Point Saint
George Lighthouse.
A deep forest of Sitka spruce covers most of the park and a
1.5 mile walking trail takes you out to the cape. If you're
lucky, the trail will give you a chance to enjoy awe-inspiring
views of the gray whales on their migration.
