Thors wrath
Witness the awe and power of this natural phenomenon, known to the locals as Thor's Well. This massive hole embedded in the porous volcanic rock near the coast of central Oregon swells with sea water during high tides and drains below with immense speed. Formed over hundreds of years, this dangerous yet beautiful spectacle shows off the Pacific Oceans never-ending ability carve and shape the land.
Horn blower
Located at Cook's Chasm along the central Oregon coast, the natural phenomenon known as The Spouting Horn displays its majestic beauty and wonder. As the high tides of the Pacific Ocean swell against the shoreline, water passes through an underground fissure carved into the volcanic rock lining the coast, causing it to spray into the air.
