Uncover the fascinating history behind this unique landmark with Ryan Parker, a beach ranger from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. In this episode, we discover how a massive Cascadia earthquake in 1700 led to the preservation of ancient trees, whose stumps now emerge from the sand at low tide. Through these geological processes, the ghost forest was born. Ryan shares about the best times to visit for a glimpse of these remarkable stumps covered in marine life, essential tips for safely exploring, and tide considerations surrounding Neskowin.
