Living Coast 2 Coast

I personally would not jump off a bridge that is more than a few feet high. The girls say that that would love it. Even though we did not jump off, we did enjoy looking at the beauty of the bridge from underneath.

The Snake River Canyon is magnificent with steep walls in most places. Just west of the bridge is a golf course at the bottom of the canyon. East of the bridge around the bend is apparently where the daredevil Evil Knievel tried to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1974.

The bridge has a parking area on each side on the north end as well a walkway to get underneath. This makes it easy to view the bridge from underneath.

We visited several spots along the canyon and some of those appear in other videos.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

We are so glad that we decided to stay at Cape Blanco State Park Campground. We chose it based on the distance from our last stop and the fact that there is a lighthouse. It so beautiful.

There is a beach access point but it is a long walk. We drove to the beach but could not get our big truck past the rocks and driftwood in order to drive on the beach. We could have made it but our truck is too long to make the tight turns. Hehe… we tried.

The campground is very nice and most of the sites have privacy. Several sites will allow larger campers with ease. Each site has electric and water but no sewer. The only negative part is that the dump station is permanently closed. It is an older system that no longer meets California guidelines. You can dump at Humbug Mountain State Park that is not too far away south.
