I did an Oregon coast workshop the second and third weeks of September this year. We shared the beach with three other workshops at times. Even with the weather day to day being iffy we had tremendous sunrises and sunsets. Take a look at the web site of Randall J Hodges and under "Lessons" look at his "Biggest Adventure of all time on the Oregon Coast" to get descriptions of the best places to shot on the Oregon Coast. I don't know about the best time and places for fall colors in Oregon. I shoot fall colors in Tumwater Canyon in October near Leavenworth in WA. I live in Washington but find the Oregon Coast my favorite place to shot in the west.

What a super link for Oregon Coast travel--Mr. Hodges has a stunning body of work! He lists pretty much all of the high spots that I have visited in the past--only I have never had such ideal weather/lighting to work with by going in the spring months. Thanks so much for sharing that site with me.

As to fall color...I'm not looking so much for autumn color along the coast as I am looking for foliage still on the branches. Wish we had the time to include WA in the itinerary. Years ago I traveled the Cascades loop through Leavenworth, Winchester, Lake Chelan, Diablo & Ross Lakes, and La Conner...then down Whidbey Island, up the Hood Canal and over to Hurricane Ridge. That was a stunning trip!
