Haystack Rock is protected as part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge as well as a designated National Wilderness Area. This 235 foot tall basalt monolith is located on the scenic Cannon Beach on the northern Oregon coast. The area below the rock is referred to as a Marine Garden.

Wall Drug Store

Drive a couple of thousand miles to Wall, South Dakota and enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the diner... or buy some funky western trinkets in the store.

There's really little to do for miles and miles around... so you might as well stop and check out the place.
