Gold Beach Rest Day
Our knees hurt. Five hundred fifty miles and over 26,000 feet of ascent over 8 days is a lot for us. Although our legs are slowly adjusting. The highlight of the day was watching harbor seals swim up and down the Rogue River. Many of these animals originate from the nearby Rogue Reef, located just offshore, which is one of the largest seal and sea lion rookeries in the Pacific Northwest and they come up river in the spring to hunt spawning salmon.
